Well, I love the sound of the rain on a tin roof
On a hot summer night
Love to hear those hound dogs barkin’
Howlin’ at the full moonlight
Love to see those fireflies buzzin’
Lightin’ up the southern sky
I’m hell-bent 100% Texan ‘till I die
Now, I’ve crossed that old state line
More than a time or two
If you see me leavin’ you’d best be believin’
I’ll be back before the week gets through
If I stay gone too long no tellin’ what I’ll do
I might hijack a plane, I might jump a freight train
To get back home, it’s true
Well, I love the sound of the rain on a tin roof
On a hot summer night
Love to hear those hound dogs barkin’
Howlin’ at the full moonlight
Love to see those fireflies buzzin’
Lightin’ up the southern sky
I’m hell-bent 100% Texan ‘till I die
Now, I don’t mind going to Oklahoma
Ain’t never met an Okie that I didn’t like
I don’t mind New York City
Those Yankees talk funny but they’re all right
I don’t mind goin’ to Louisiana
(pronounced weezy-anna in Texas)
They’re red hot Cajun cookin’ suits me fine
If I had my way I’d be home today
On my front porch drinkin’ moonshine
Well, I love the sound of the rain on a tin roof
On a hot summer night
Love to hear those hound dogs barkin’
Howlin’ at the full moonlight
Love to see those fireflies buzzin’
Lightin’ up the southern sky
I’m hell-bent 100% Texan ‘till I die
Yea now, I’m hell-bent 100% Texan ‘till I die
