  • When I get off of work on Friday, after working like a dog all week
    I go to meet the boys for a cold one, at a little joint up the street
    They got a jukebox in the corner, full of old country tunes
    Feed it five dollars worth of quarters, is the first thing I always do

    'Cause I need a little twang
    A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
    Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
    To get that foot stompin' honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins
    I need a little twang, twang, twang

    Well, I like a lot of kinds of music
    I try to keep an open mind
    Depending on the mood to strike me
    If I'm gonna stay 'till closing time
    So when I wanna lift my spirits to get me feeling worth a dang
    I know I'm gonna have to hear it
    'Cause I gotta have some Hank to hang

    'Cause I need a little twang
    A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
    Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
    To get that foot stompin' honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins
    I need a little twang

    I need a little twang
    A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
    Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
    To get that foot stompin' honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins
    I need a little twang, twang, twang
    I need a little twang, twang, twang. Writer/s: JIM LAUDERDALE, JIMMY RITCHEY, KENDELL WAYNE MARVEL
