1> Raised in a Texas honky tonk
two stepp'n  by the age ten.
danc'n with all them pretty gail's
I thought it would never end
shooting pool on an old beer box
I'ed sneek a drink now and then
raised in a Texas honky tonk
and now its gotten under my skin.

2> Theirs nouthing like aTexas honky tonk
with a band that can really whail.
the fiddle and steel keep calling me back.
back where it all begain.
get out on the floor and jitter-bug
ha play all my routy friends
raised in a Texas honky tonk
Lord its gotten under my skin

 (corus) Raised in a Texas honky tonk
the envy of all my friends
dancing to a stel and a hot guitar
the fiddle was my best friend.
how i miss those good old days
i relive  um when i can
raised in a Texas honky tonk.
for me its where the fun begans.

3>  Now I'm playing in this honky tonk.
 I got myself a little band
I wont ever be know George Strait
and I don't give a damn.
I'll do some of those good old songs
and one of mine now and then
playing in a Texas honky tonk
man its still under my ski n.


 (corus) Playing in a Texas honky tonk
I play every night I can
twin fiddles and a steel guitar.
watch the people rolling in
down in a Texas honky tonk
the party never ends
playing in a Texas honky tonk
grab a drink and come own in
playing these Texas honky tonks
 I'll die with it under my skin.
