Downtown's got a bunch of bands, with rock and roll six stringin'
But if I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'
Do some one, two stepping to some old bob wills' singin'
Yeah, if I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'

Dallas down to San Antone
Rolling like a rolling stone
I'll stop for every flashing neon light
Driving down them f.m. roads
With a.m. on my radio
Ace in the hole band play me home tonight

Hammer down on the beat that po-po said I'm speedin'
He can lock me up but I'm goin' down swingin'

You're a little country for today, but what the hell so be it
If you're goin' down, go on down swingin'
You know you're way behind the times with this twang thing you're bringing
If you go down, go on down swingin'

I am what I say I am
You don't like me, I don't give a damn
No one can please 'em all and that's all right
You know I ain't no scared crow, I'll put em up there toe to toe
Ain't gonna ring no bell without a fight
If they think they can knock me out, boy they better bring it
If I go down, I'm goin' down swingin'

Dallas down to San Antone
Rolling like a rolling stone
I'll stop for every flashing neon light
Driving down them f.m. roads
With a.m. on my radio
Ace in the hole band play me home tonight

Gonna go see my little gal later on this evening
She got some sun brewed sweat tea kisses that need stealin'
Gonna hold her tight hanging from that back porch ceiling
Watch that hot Texas sun, goin' down swingin'
