Verse 1:
Today's the big day; gonna load up the big truck
(Pack up the cooler, get the grill all fired up
(Fly me the colors of my white and orange favorite(
Party with my friends from the back of the tailgate
(Circle up the RVs; crank up the boom box(
Listen to the pre-game, party in the parking lot(
Girls are in their jean skirts, circled in a huddle(
The Horns are gettin' ready, to run through the tunnel

Chorus:
(You bring the drinks, and I'll bring ice(
I'll bring the grill and you spark the light
(You bring the Willie; I'll bring the Strait(
It's a Texas Longhorn Tailgate
(Round up the trucks; we're hitting the road
Follow the Horns wherever they go
(Gametime is near, I can hardly wait
(It's a Texas Longhorn Tailgate

We've got a party in Austin tonight!

Verse 2:(
Workin' on a sun tan, blacktop pavement
(Hotter than the heat from a hot rod engine(
Southern sweet tea, nothin' like the real thing(
Nothin' could be better than a crowd on game day(
Daddy's on the grill; Mama's makin' cole slaw
Kids playin' two hand touch like all stars(
Waiting on the corn bread, BBQ, brisket--(
Better get it quick or ya just might miss it((

Chorus

((I can hear that stadium rockin, ya'll

Bridge:
Let's go; it's game day—make ourselves a good day(
Hundred thousand on their feet, Longhorns screamin'
Hangin' in the parking lot, making new friends
We do it every weekend and the party never ends

Chorus
