Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I get off of work on Friday
After workin' like a dog all week
I go to meet the boys for a cold one
At a little joint up the street
[Verse 2]
They got a jukebox in the corner
Full of old country tunes
Feed it 5 dollars worth of quarters
Is the first thing I always do
[Verse 3]
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bendin' on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whinin' like the whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stompin', honky-tonkin' feeling flowin' through my veins
I need a little twang, twang, twang
[Verse 4]
Well, I like a lot of kinds of music
I try to keep an open mind
Dependin' on the mood to strike me
If I'm gonna stay till closin' time
[Verse 5]
So when I wanna lift my spirits
To get me feelin' worth a dang
I know I'm gonna have to hear it
'Cause I gotta have some Hank to hang
[Verse 6]
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bendin' on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whinin' like the whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stompin', honky-tonkin' feelin' flowin' through my veins
I need a little twang
[Verse 7]
I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bendin' on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whinin' like the whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stompin', honky-tonkin' feeling flowin' through my veins
I need a little twang, twang, twang
I need a little twang, twang, twang
