Ahh let's go honky tonkin'
C
Let's go honky tonkin'
       G                            D
Have a honky tonkin' good time with us

Let's go honky tonkin'
      G       D     G
Honky tonkin' round Texas

                   G
Well I'll put some diesel in the tank
          C
Give that old Detroit a crank
          G                              D
We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly
             G
Well up and down that Lonestar State
             C
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

        C
Well my mom called me up

And she gave me my last warning
      A
Said there'll be hell to pay
          D           A       E
If I miss church this Sunday morning.
