Honky Tonk in Texas

I grew up pickin' round Oklahoma
Made my way to Nashville, Tennessee
I saw this great nation on a Prevost
I played both coasts and all points in between

And through the years I've seen a few changes
Like steel and fiddle just ain't cool no more
I may not know much about the latest
But there is one thing I do know for sure

As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
And folks like you and me to come along
As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
I know country music will live on

You still hear George and Mele, and Gene and Johnny
And any Willie & Waylon tune you like
Hear Ray and the wheel play Bob Will's music
Where the Rose of San Antone will never die

As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
And folks like you and me to come along
As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
I know country music will live on
Oh, sling it

As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
And folks like you and me to come along
As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
I know country music will live on

As long as there's a honky tonk in Texas
I know country music will live on
