[Verse 1: Rodney Crowell]
The crickets are singing, the blue gills are biting
The fireflies are flashing with all of their might
Just forty-odd miles from the Rio Palm Isle
The whole gang gone fishing on a full moonlit night

[Chorus: Rodney Crowell, Lee Ann Womack]
We get high on the lake and we float down the river
Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain, Texas
I've tried hard to leave here but never did could

[Verse 2: Ronnie Dunn]
Tomorrow we'll have us the world's largest fish fry
Eat catfish and crappie 'til they come out our ears
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
Get covered up in chiggers, drink ten tubs of beer

[Chorus: Ronnie Dunn, Rodney Crowell, Lee Ann Womack]
We get high on the lake and we float down the river
Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain, Texas
I've tried hard to leave here but never did could

[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
Give me a guitar and a long legged girl
A dime bag of dirt weed and a six-pack of Pearl
You take 59 Highway 'cross the Cass County line
Now that's where you'll find me, way back in the pines
[Chorus: Willie Nelson, Ronnie Dunn, Rodney Crowell, Lee Ann Womack]
We get high on the lake and we float down the river
Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain, Texas
I've tried hard to leave here but never did could
