Oh there’ll always be honk tonks in texas
Faded love twin fiddles and a crowed hardwood floor
Yes there’ll always be honky tonks in texas
Home away from home for lonesome cowboys
And ladies who don’t like to be alone

Happiness may come and go like the sunshine and the snow
Now and then a friend is hard to find
And the love I thought would stay can sometimes slip away
And leave you with no comfort for your mind

With my suitcase in my hand I’ve traveled across this land
These old boots have walked the streets of many towns
But no matter where I roam texas is my home
And that’s the place I’ll always be around
