Been burnin' up those dancehall roads Another night, another show Ain't no place I'd rather be... But it sure takes a toll on me When I fire up ole Willie's songs, The party crowd sings along Mmmm...when that Lonestar starts to flow I just lose my self-control… 'Cause it's Hard-Hard to be Good in Texas There must be somethin in the water down there that affects us I made a promise to myself, no way I'm gonna cross the line Gonna stay out of the trouble I always seem to find… But it's hard--Hard to be Good in Texas Now when that last call's come and gone Ain't nobody headin' home Oh the night is way too young And this party's just begun Closin' time don't mean we stop All these good people wanna rock We're gonna raise so much hell We might just all end up in jail… 'Cause it's Hard-Hard to be Good in Texas There must be somethin in the water down there that affects us I made a promise to myself, no way I'm gonna cross the line Gonna stay out of the trouble I always seem to find… But it's hard--Hard to be Good in Texas Now when it's all said and done Ooo--here comes that mornin' sun Ain't no place I'd rather be Honkeytonkin' in the Big T Cause it's Hard-Hard to be Good in Texas There must be somethin in the water down there that affects us I made a promise to myself, no way I'm gonna cross the line Gonna stay out of the trouble I always seem to find… But it's hard--Hard to be Good in Texas
