Tank Town Boogie

Tank Town Boogie - Hank Harral

There's a little oil town

By the side of the way

It's got oil tanks in it

And it's there to stay

Got one main street

And a courthouse square

You'll know when you're in it

When you get there

Tank town boogie

Tank town boogie

This is it all right

This is it all right

Honky tonk-tonk

In a tank town Saturday night

If you ever been a rigger

On an old oil rig

Or a driller on the same

And you dig a dig dig

If you ever been a driver

Or a pusher by heck

Then you know what I mean

When I say roughneck

Tank town boogie

Tank town boogie

This is it all right

This is it all right

Honky tonk-tonk

In a tank town Saturday night

Well we stacked the rig

Just about sun down

Went down on the square

Just to fool around

We ambled on down

To the old dancehall

So we just stuck around

For the tank town ball

Tank town boogie

Tank town boogie

This is it all right

This is it all right

Honky tonk-tonk

In a tank town Saturday night

Well I met a pretty gal

She was blond and tall

So we dozy doky doed

Around that old dancehall

The fiddles and guitars

Were banging out a tune

We were dancin' in the light

Of the tank town moon

Tank town boogie

Tank town boogie

This is it all right

This is it all right

Honky tonk-tonk

In a tank town Saturday night

Well we sure had a time

In that old dancehall

Till along about two

When they started a brawl

I'm telling you boys

I was high as a kite

I had two black eyes

From a hard-swung right

Tank town boogie

Tank town boogie

This is it all right

This is it all right

Honky tonk-tonk

In a tank town Saturday night
