Chuggin' along on 385
Looks like another 12 hour drive
Sun's come up it's a pretty day
The land's so flat you can see la

(Chorus)
It's the flatland boogie
When the mercury's high
Tornado alley is always hot and dry
It's cotton fields and cattle ranches
Honky tonks and all night dancin'
Flatland boogie

Racing trains down the rural route
Crusin' towns and checkin' them out
Buddy's gone but you can catch his soul
Late at night on the radio

(Chorus)
