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
