As I came across the Pecos   And broke west of the line   This thunderstorm was running   And it ran me out of time      So I was racing through the rain   With this rig from Tennessee   When a voice cut through the static   Bringing comfort home to me   They were singing      I ain't sittin' in no shack   I got me a Ford right out the back   So come on and roll me over   If I ain't there in nothing flat      With a honky-tonk attitude   I'll be doing the straight line swing   C'mon and grab your horseshoe   And throw it in the ring      Now the levee wall was breaking   Rocks were rolling from the ridge   The announcer broke in saying   There was a bus trapped on the bridge      So I turned my rig around   I was axle-deep in mud   And I found those people stranded   The bridge was groaning in the flood   Still my radio was singing      I ain't sittin' in no shack   I got me a Ford right out the back   So come on and roll me over   If I ain't there in nothing flat      Honky-tonk attitude   I'll be doing the straight line swing   C'mon and grab your horseshoe   And throw it in the ring      With the grinding of my engine   I hauled those people free   With the raging river rising   The driver came thanking me      So I told him about the message   He said, "That can't be right   The storm knocked out the radio tower   Late last Saturday night"   But through the static we heard singing      I ain't sittin' in no shack   Got me a Ford right out the back   So come on and roll me over   If I ain't there in nothing flat      Honky-tonk attitude   I'll be doing the straight line swing   C'mon and grab your horseshoe   And throw it in the ring      Them old truckers gonna tell you   Down the lonely interstate   Out the dead air on the waveband   The Texas Playboys break      You'll hear a keening voice   Bob Wills is with you as you drive   And you'll know you got a broadcast   Straight from 1935   Can you hear him singing      I ain't sittin' in no shack   Got me a Ford right out the back   So come on and roll me over   If I ain't there in nothing flat      Honky-tonk attitude   Doing the straight line swing   C'mon and grab your horseshoe   And throw it in the ring      I ain't sittin' in no shack   Got me a Ford right out the back   Come on and roll me over   If I ain't there in nothing flat      Honky-tonk attitude   Doing the straight line swing   C'mon and grab your horseshoe   And throw it in the ring
