[Verse 1]

There's a country mile-long line out the door

Full of outlaw women and some dinosaurs

They got no intentions of kickin' old habits

It's Friday and they just gotta have it

Yeah, the band's tuned up and we're ready to play

'Bout to blow the top off of the whole damn thing

Go to clickin' them sticks, kick it off right

With some country, boy can survive

Y'all ready? Here we go (One, two, three, four)


[Chorus]

We're gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Get to swinging' back and forth to a country song

Been a-workin' all week, now the work week's gone

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Gonna crank the Bocephus 'neath thе neon light

'Cause all my rowdy friends arе comin' over tonight

Gonna turn one up, gonna tie one on

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk (Woo)


[Post-Chorus]

Hank the hell out of the honkytonk


[Verse 2]

Why do we drank?

To get drunk

Why do we smoke?

To get stoned

Yeah, we take it to the limit

Yeah, we take it to the line

Me? I'm livin' in a country state of mind


[Chorus]

We're gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Get to swinging' back and forth to a country song

Been a-workin' all week, now the work week's gone

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Gonna crank the Bocephus 'neath the neon light

'Cause all my rowdy friends are comin' over tonight

Gonna turn one up, gonna tie one on

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk


[Post-Chorus]

Hank the hell out of the honkytonk


[Bridge]

There ain't nothin' like raisin' hell and gettin' paid

Yeah, I'm sure Hank done it this way


[Chorus]

We're gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Get to swinging' back and forth to a country song

Been a-workin' all week, now the work week's gone

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk

Gonna crank the Bocephus 'neath the neon light

'Cause all my rowdy friends are comin' over tonight

Gonna turn one up, gonna tie one on

Gonna Hank the hell out of the honkytonk
