The stars are shining in the east Texas air Another fifteen minutes and I'm gonna be there It's been a long drive But everything is going alright I'm on the glade water highway Going juke joint jumping tonight The juke joint's honey where I learned how to sing Where they honky tonk all night And hank Williams is king We're gonna do a little dancing Keep at it 'till broad daylight We're on the glade water highway Going juke joint jumping tonight I might go dancing or shooting pool It's a hip trip baby and the cats are all cool It's the real thing and it sure is a welcome sight It's where I cut my teeth And I'm going joint jumping tonight So next time you go travel Brother here's a good plan Get your automobile and go to texarkan You're gonna do a little driving Keep at it 'till broad daylight You're on the glade water highway Going juke joint jumping tonight
