Hot Rod Frank Lyrics

Well once upon a time not long ago

I was hangin' at the Austin rodeo

When my good buddy said come on, I'll buy you a beer

There's a honky-tonk joint not a half a mile from here

Well we got inside and we settled in

There was a Texas band playin' Texas swing

Singin' "Bob Wills" but it sounded like "Asleep At The Wheel"

You know the Texas folk love the sound of a fiddle and steel

Well the door flew open in walked a man

A guitar on his back and an amp in his hand

Said I'm new in town and wonder if you'd let me sit in

He said my name is Frank but I'm "Hot Rod" to my friends

Go Frank go

Well the band leader said that's pretty slick

What else have you got in your bag-o-tricks

Franky flipped him a grin as he walked toward center stage

And then the joint started jumpin' when Franky begins to play

Go Frank go

Now everybody knows 'ol hot rods name

Since he walked in things sure have changed

The other bands gone but nobody seems to complain

When Franky starts rockin' the joint just goes insane

Go Frank go
