Honky tonkin' round Texas

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 
          G                    D        G 
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 
        G 
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.
