Ahh let's go honky tonkin' Let's go honky tonkin' Have a honky tonkin' good time with us Ahh let's go honky tonkin' Let's go honky tonkin' Honky tonkin' round Texas Well I'll put some diesel in the tank Give that old Detroit a crank We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly Well up and down that Lonestar State Let's have a honky tonkin' tail gate And don't forget to kiss your baby good bye Stick out a thumb and bum a ride Hitch-hike across the country side Come see why they call this place God's country Well criss-cross in the Colorado From Amarillo to Zapata Every town along the way from A to Z Stick out a thumb and bum a ride Hitch-hike across the country side Come see why they call this place God's country Well criss-cross in the Colorado From Amarillo to Zapata Every town along the way from A to Z Well my mom called me up And she gave me my last warning Said there'll be hell to pay If I miss church this Sunday morning
