Now first of all I've gotta warn you Before you fall in love with me This here kickin' out the footlights Ain't all it's cracked up to be Well, cheap hotels and truck stop coffee It's what makes the wheels go 'round I know exactly what you're thinkin', girl God only knows if I'll ever settle down So if you think you can take it Enjoy the nonsense and the noise Girl, it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin' Honky tonkin' Texas boys Just ask the women who have been there Who've lived and breathed that crazy life Ask sweet Jessie about old Wayland Ask old Willie's four ex-wives Some day you're gonna want a family Some day you may be wantin' more In a king size bed that's always lonely Whenever I walk out your door But if you think you can take it Enjoy the nonsense and the noise Girl, it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin' Honky tonkin' Texas boys ♪ There's something about them neon signs I'm like a moth drawn to a flame Blame it on a smoky bar or a cryin' steel guitar Those pretty girls screamin' my name So if you think you can take it And enjoy the nonsense and the noise Girl, it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin' Honky tonkin' Texas boys Girl, it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin' Honky tonkin' Texas boys
