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
