First you talk about fishin'
And how you ran out of luck
Then you talk about ole' Uncle Bill
He shot a twelve point buck
But he's addicted to the whiskey now
He run his wife and kids plumb out of town
Keep a-singin', hell, you're doin' alright
Sing about the stars here on a Texas night
And then you talk about your pickup truck
Cause it's a four-wheel drive
And you're a man who should drink ice cold booze
Under the neon light
Don't forget about your old John Deere
Sing another line about your ice cold beer
And then you pour a shot of whiskey down
And, hell, you're halfway there
Don't forget you've gotta mention Hank
And how your family likes to smoke and drink
Keep a-singin', hell, it won't be long
You'll have yourself a hit country song
And you talk about your old Dog Jake
Spend all your Summers swimmin' down at the lake
So you had to take a back road here
With the tailgate down
Spend your evenings by the campfire light
Singin' those songs that make you feel just right
Call it a party, cause we're all alone
Everyone's wasted by the end of this song
And then you talk about your pickup truck
Cause it's a four-wheel drive
And you're a man cause you drink ice cold beer
Under the neon light
Don't forget about your old John Deere
Sing another line about drinkin' beer
And then you pour a shot of whiskey down
And, hell, you're almost there
Don't forget you've got to mention Hank
And how your family likes to smoke and drink
Just keep a-singin', hell, it won't be long
You'll have yourself a hit country song
Just a-singin', and it won't be long
You'll have yourself a hit country song
