Chuggin' along on 385 Looks like another 12 hour drive Sun's come up it's a pretty day The land's so flat you can see la (Chorus) It's the flatland boogie When the mercury's high Tornado alley is always hot and dry It's cotton fields and cattle ranches Honky tonks and all night dancin' Flatland boogie Racing trains down the rural route Crusin' towns and checkin' them out Buddy's gone but you can catch his soul Late at night on the radio (Chorus)
