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
