We loved and she locked me down But she didn’t like the way I sound Aw in that wedding dress she was lookin’ so pretty So I gave in, changed everything, lost my twang, and we moved to the city But every time I got home from work, she’d turn right around And beat my damn ‘Ol heart right into the ground Well that was fun I guess this is goodbye I’d say we had a good run baby, but that’d be a lie Now if you’ll excuse me, I got somewhere to be tonight I’m goin’ back to my country roots dustin’ off my cowboy boots Been so long I’m forgettin’ how to get to two steppin’ Back to the honky tonk drinkin’ beer nonstop Singin’ every possum song come on darlin’ dance along ‘Ol jukebox blastin’ through play some Waylon press A-2 Steel guitar moan the blues whiskey river cold brews Pearl snaps instead of suits it’s back to my country roots Yeah I was born and raised…in San Antone And that city…has got a mind of its own I couldn’t go back now I prefer a more Hank-like sound And the man I used to be seems so far away Goin’ to school in the city will set a boy astray If only she could see the man I am today Raised on the ranch, fishin’ with dad Damned if I forget the life I’ve had Now my speech, ain’t soundin’ half bad Cause I’m goin’ back to my country roots dustin’ off my cowboy boots Been so long I’m forgettin’ how to get to two steppin’ Back to the honky tonk drinkin’ beer nonstop Singin’ every possum song come on darlin’ dance along ‘Ol jukebox blastin’ through play some Waylon press A-2 Steel guitar moan the blues whiskey river cold brews Pearl snaps instead of suits it’s back to my country roots *electric guitar solo* *steel guitar solo* *fiddle solo* *banjo solo* Moved back to east Texas after everything was done She’s a distant memory and I’m on my own I never fit that corporate life, too much drama and noise Now I’m workin’ with my hands, me and my blue collar boys Yeah I might got a good college education But that don’t change my situation Every Friday and Saturday night, I’m gonna find myself slammin’ a Lone Star or twelve under them neon lights Cause I’m goin’ back to my country roots dustin’ off my cowboy boots Been so long I’m forgettin’ how to get to two steppin’ Back to the honky tonk drinkin’ beer nonstop Singin’ every possum song come on darlin’ dance along ‘Ol jukebox blastin’ through play some Waylon press A-2 Steel guitar moan the blues whiskey river cold brews Pearl snaps instead of suits it’s back to my country roots “And I ain’t never forgettin it again! COME ON NOW! One more time!” “YEEEEEEEE HA HA HA HA HAAAWWW!!” Yeeeeeaaaaaahhh….I’m goin’ back to my country roots dustin’ off my cowboy boots Been so long I’m forgettin’ how to get to two steppin’ Back to the honky tonk drinkin’ beer nonstop Singin’ every possum song come on darlin’ dance along ‘Ol jukebox blastin’ through play some Waylon press A-2 Steel guitar moan the blues whiskey river cold brews Pearl snaps instead of suits it’s back to my country roots Steel guitar moan the blues whiskey river cold brews Pearl snaps instead of suits, it’s back to my country roots I said pearl snaps instead of suits it’s back to my country roots “YEEEEEHAAAWW!” “That’s what I’m talkin’ about…pass me another cold one.” “Yeah yeah, hot ass day out there at the plant today, I need it for sure!”
