Well, I'm a honky-tonk nighthawk
Trottin' on the hardwood floor
Said, I'm a honky-tonk nighthawk
Trottin' on the hardwood floor
Yeah, when it comes last call
I'll be the last to haul out the door

Give me a buckskin beer and
A pedal steel guitar
I like a buckskin beer and
Pedal steel guitar
I wanna two-step from Fort Worth
To Calgary at the Ranchmen's Bar

Well, I don't care what's cool or where it's at
No, I don't care what's cool or where it's at
I'm congregating at the places
Where the folks dress in boots and hats

'Cause I'm a honky-tonk nighthawk
Trottin' on the hardwood floor
And I'm a honky-tonk nighthawk
Trottin' on the hardwood floor
Yeah, when it comes last call
I'll be the last to haul out the door
