G5 
Ahh let's go honky tonkin' 
C5 
Let's go honky tonkin' 
       G5                            D5 
Have a honky tonkin' good time with us 
G5 
Ahh let's go honky tonkin' 
C5 
Let's go honky tonkin' 
      G5       D5     G5 
Honky tonkin' round Texas  
 

                   G5 
Well I'll put some diesel in the tank 
          C5 
Give that old Detroit a crank 
          G5                              D5 
We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly 
             G5 
Well up and down that Lonestar State 
             C5 
Let's have a honky tonkin' tail gate 
          G5                    D5        G5 
And don't forget to kiss your baby good bye 
 
(Chorus) 

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 
 
(Chorus) 
        C5 
Well my mom called me up 
        G5 
And she gave me my last warning 
      A5 
Said there'll be hell to pay 
          D5           A5       E5 
If I miss church this Sunday morning 

(Chorus) 
 
Note:  Aaron changes key in the bridge 

and in the last chorus...
moves from G5 to A5
