      D                        G            D 
Well, hello boogie palace, I'm sittin here alone 
D                         A            D 
Listening to the music of electric saxophone 
         D                              G                 D 
Now they ain't no sexy dresses and they ain't no beehive hair 
     D                                      A                  D 
Just boys who look like girls who look like boys who look like Cher 
 
G 
I'm just a redneck in a rock and roll bar 
G   
I miss the fiddle and a steel guitar 
                             C        G 
They're starin' at me like a bug in a jar 
G                       D             G 
I'm just a redneck in a rock and roll bar 
 
 
I stopped in here to have a beer and ask some gal to dance 
Well I been waiting patient now and I ain't had the chance 
Cause they ain't played any waltzes, nothing like a Texas Swing 
And with no belly rubbin' music how in the hell can I do my thing 
 
 
Well goodbye Boogie Palace, I'm -a getting out of here 
Back to country music and back to Lone Star beer 
Where the women look like women and they dress so you can tell 
And the men are good old boys just drinkin' beer and raisin hell
