- Jimmy puts a Tonight Show spin on "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" as he parades through the streets of Austin with an epic crowd to the University of Texas. Full lyrics below:
JIMMY - VERSE 1
Well life here in Austin is kinda laid back
Got drunk on Dirty Sixth ‘fore I even unpacked
Let’s drink another beer before we head back
Thank God I’m a country boy
Well a Texas kinda life got a real kinda charm
Met a dude named Bevo on a longhorn farm
Bled burnt orange when he poked me in the arm
Thank God I’m a country boy
CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Suck down queso, get thick in the middle
Ate hot sauce till it came out my nipples
Thank God I’m a country boy
JIMMY - VERSE 2
When my work’s all done and I got a couple bucks
I grab a Bird scooter and I hit the food trucks
Top of my lungs screamin’ “O-U sucks!”
Thank God I’m a country boy
Got a giant belt buckle, boots made of leather
Hot-ass weather, I don’t need a sweater
The hats are all big here, and bigger is better
Thank God I’m a country boy
CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle
Playin’ my guitar counts as workin’ out a little
Thank God I’m a country boy
[MARCHING BAND / SPIRIT ROUTINE]
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle
Get my stomach pumped at the county hos-pital
Thank God I’m a country boy
JIMMY - VERSE 3
Now it’s time for the show, gotta pick up the pace
Got a roomful of Longhorns, I can’t make ‘em wait
So let’s hear it:
ALL
“Come early, be loud, stay late!”
JIMMY
Thank God I’m a country boy
JIMMY - VERSE 4
Well it’s time to start the show, gonna be a big night
Gotta party with a crowd
Full of lit Austinites
So when I say “Texas!”
You say…
CROWD
“Fight!”
JIMMY
Thank God I’m a country boy
TARIQ "BLACKTHOUGHT" TROTTER
The heart of the Southwest
Is deep like Texas
I went to South-by
And saw two of my exes
The Lone Star State
That you best not mess with
They're barbecuing cowboy steaks for breakfast
Big Bossin' in the land you could get lost in
I get love from STUBB's
To the Limits of Austin
Even though I'm a city boy
I bring the Philly noise
Here comes an episode
Everybody will enjoy
CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
I’m a cowboy, now boy, little by little
So I raise up my hand in the Hook ‘em Horns symbol…
Thank God I’m a country boy.
JIMMY - VERSE 5 [SLOW/ACOUSTIC]
Yeah, back in New York where the lights are all bright
Got city folks tellin’ me, “Hop the next flight.”
But I tell you what, Austin is…
[AS MCCONAUGHEY] alright alright alright.
Thank God I’m a country boy

i dont think we are appreciating how f*cking hard the marching band came in with the UT fight song. That shit slapped
They were perfect. 👏👏👏😊
Former Texas trombone here...I love that they made him a black Longhorn Band uniform complete with fringe overlay and bolo tie.
Someone got a budget increase this month, god damn that was dope lol
Nah they just got Samsung
It's because it's in Texas. Everything is bigger here.
Cost of goods difference between NY and Texas?
@@kaitlynvandalen5621 you'll definitely get an answer if u ask google..
Kaitlyn Vandalen lets see cheap houseing compared to New York Gun rights and freedom
“Thank god I’m a country boy”
Sir you’re in Austin
Hehe just play along fer fun.
It’s a city 😂 Houston,Dallas,San Antonio are all the same know go to the out skirts of the city and that changes from urban cowboy to cowboy..!
The most liberal area in Texas, that's for sure...
At least we all can still agree that OU sucks!!
LOGAN PRICE you sang along? That is just adorable
“ I did my research I saw Friday Night Lights” 😂
Kobe Dylan I never saw FNL, but I think I lived it!
I love how the crowd gets louder when he tips his hat to Bevo!
vgrace78 My favorite part! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Taking my cowboy hat off to all the producers and late night staff that planned the logistics for this cold open.
Yes! Whew. So many people and places. Whew. They need a bonus.
Bip Nop Wasn’t me talking
And lots of planning...cast, venues, crew and huge rehearsals! Big production for sure.
I particularly enjoyed the OU SUCKS line.
I worked on the locations teams for this.
It was nuts. We filmed it all in one day. Running from location to location.
UT-Austin officially has the best recruitment video in the country... and it's not even close! Thanks, Jimmy!
Are you nuts? He painted you like idiots.
This is why Fallon has a career. He's just so much fun, I wish they'd get rid of the monologues and let him have fun.
You mean remove the interviews? Ya, I know! Monologue is fine, interviews are awkward and aweful now. It's like watching someone forced to pretend to be interested in another person's work or stories, and with no conversational segue skills...AND fake cringeworthy exaggerated reactions. What happened, Jimmy?? You used to not be like this :(
I think they let him loose, then he formed bad interview habits and can't undo them now.
Lame!
And please, I wish he'd leave politics out of his monologues, and not involve his guests or audience into political views! Other than that, he's great.
Not fun or funny
Hes doesnt even get political
the "OU Sucks" part got me hahahah
OU's better☝️😂
@@jackm4426 Much however Ohio State is best #BuckeyeNation
jack M boomer!!
Hell ya OU SUCKS!!!
The one thing all us who go to school in Texas can agree on
There was no better way to kick off the show. "Thank God I'm A Country Boy". That song's gonna be in my head for a while.
As a misplaced Texan (now residing in the North) you have no idea how much I miss this energy and how happy watching this video made me
When you realised that jimmy is actually a good singer
Ahmad Miqdad Mohd Noor Yes, in the recorded part, sure (thank god for pitch correction). Once they got to the live portion his vibrato disappeared and his pitch got shakey.
Ahmad Miqdad Mohd Noor beeyootiful!
He's great! You should listen to his other performances!! :) like "Reading Rainbow", "At this moment" etc
No he is not. He is a POS
You just realized that? He’s been singing on his show since day 1…
he deserves an award for this song, hilarious
Mark Langille honorary texan
j scott he never claimed it was his song lmao. He just changed the lyrics
This is one of my favs. It's a fun good hearted song and nothing wrong with that.
I know the original but the creativity to write a new set of lyrics is pretty impressive to me.
I always liked the original. Love songs that display your pride in yourself or your hometown.
And I agree, though the redone lyrics were pretty clever and humorous.
Especially lines incorporated that you KNOW a UT fan would say like,”...OU Sux!” or do,”... (eat)fried pickles..”
Awesome job. But most of the time Jimmy does good song parodies. (Song he did with Bruce Springsteen and another “The Two Neils”w/ Neil Young)
Okay but the “alright alright alright” got me 😭😩
Sarah Kline me too i got chills
My chills moment was “When I say Texas you say FIIIIGGGGHHHTT!!!”
Dazed is a top ten movie
He said that because of Matthew McConaughey.
- Matthew is from Texas and always says "Alright, alright, alright."
Mathew is actually from Uvalde, where I am from.
Jimmy didn't have to wait decades to become a legend.
this is the most fun thing i have ever seen come out of the tonight show. whenever ANYONE doubts jimmy fallon having a career, just watch this video. exuding confidence and just so much raw fun!
lol this is the most country I have ever seen in austin, I feel like this makes people think austin is super country (just to let everyone know, its not that country haha)
clarissa zubia RIGHT lol
He should of just came to A&M
It's the least country of all the major Texas cities. Like literally all you have to do is leave the city of Austin and it's instantly aggressively country lmao
Esther O yes that i will agree is definitely one of the most country schools lol
Jessica Vanderbrink LITERALLY!!
and houston, its also not aggressively country
Saw myself at 3:11 in the white shirt😂😂😂 the taping of the show in Bass Concert Hall today was awesome! Proud to be a longhorn 🤟🏼🐂🎸
Saw you there..on the right (Jimmy's left). Good job.
Have you ever been to New York? Those people think you ride a horse to school. They also think that we’re just a bunch of dumb, gun toting, inbred shit kickers. I’m serious man. New York is a shithole, and to consider yourself a Texan is a joke over there. They’re probably making fun of you right now.
@@jesteravrgjoe2888 It's not that bad, on either side. You're overdoing it or you just hang out with cynical people. I'm an Austinite and I love New Yorkers. The best ones from each city - of which there are a ton - would give you the shirt off their back, they just sound different while they're doing it.
Shit Jimmy's voice is actually pretty legit
@j scott lol
@j scott he sings all the time in his shows, and do you know what auto tune sounds like?
Machi Gunther do you? Auto tune has slowly but sure become more complex and this is 100% auto tune, I’m sure you’re referring to the old primitive robotic auto tune that isn’t used anymore.
Notice how his voice changes when they go to the 'live' show in the auditorium... Yep, the previous stuff was autotune.
@@ladycayte does it matter? They make this just for us to enjoy.
Just got back from a trip to Austin! Best city! I will be back! I love Austin! And Jimmy rocked this! ❤
We should just have Jimmy do the show from Austin every year!! Can I get a Yeehaw for that?!
Yee-fuckin'-haw
YeeHaw!!!
Yeehaw!
Yeeee hawww!
NOT
Jimmy sounded amazing here
I’m not one to get homesick but this video honestly made me miss living in Texas and Austin.
You're lucky that you can't remember what happened when John Denver had the hit with it, to begin with. A tremendously talented man, he was greatly disliked by many during his life; I think it was because radio stations overexposed his song, "Take Me Home, Country Roads." I never left the radio on for "background noise," and so I never got tired of songs that were over-played. So, I can still stand "Smoke On The Water" and Stairway to Heaven"- because I'm not sick of them.
I love that I am judged by some music that I listen to because some other people - effin' LOTS of other people - were in the habit of having the radio on ALL THE TIME. I am still liable to get caught up by a cleverly written song with a catchy hook - we call these songs "earworms"- just as much as anyone else. It means that I can still enjoy those songs; but it also means that many pop songs sound the same to me. Is it OK to not like mass-produced crap? Sheeesh! OK, whatever...
Go watch SLACKER
Damn Black Thought dropped barz! No Late Night Show in history has or ever will be blessed to have a band as good as the ROOTS!
Absolutely perfect. Well done, Jimmy.
Now that’s what I call knowing your audience
This is very entertaining!!! He can sing and dancer.
I clicked on this not expecting much. But then I watched an amazing video with awesome dancers, singers, and musicians followed by a perfect transition to live television all while maintaining the tempo and rhythm as they all came together on stage and burnt that place down.
0:52 THATS ME!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!!!!
Randitions you’re cute
Congrats! and GEAUX TIGERS
That's awesome!!!
@@luiscisneros974 youre weird asf
@@burtgundy796 what are you going to do about it!?
Ah, John Denver (who actually went to Texas Tech and graduated from Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth) would be so proud, thanks Jimmy!
The song he would, but not all that ugly burn orange. Gunz Up! Horns Down!
I can't even come up with a comment for how much I love this. Jimmy and Texas pride in one video is just too much greatness!
I GUARANTEE THAT was a Blast for EVERYONE!!
Actually a very catchy song! It's already stuck in my head..
You know, if Jimmy Fallon was able to do this type of open for all 50 states and Puerto Rico he would do more to heal us and unite us than any damn politician. Seriously, He's a happy guy and he promotes fun, happiness and mad respect.
Except for the fact he rips us apart with every stand up set. He seems more like a loving guy I think, but his handlers make him bash the right. Ever since he messed Donald Trumps hair he’s had to tow the line.
@@zacharyentz9191 yup. Eyes wide open friend. 💯
This is awesome 👏 thank God I’m a Country boy
Like him or not, Jimmy is sooo talented. He sings, he writes music, he dances, he’s a comedian, he’s an actor and he’s genuinely a nice guy. He’s also extremely charitable. He’s a bundle of talent!
k
Still irritating
In just this video, he barely danced, sung a song written by someone else, AND all of the audio was autotuned.
Boo New York
Meh.
Austin is an awesome city and awesome to see Jimmy making a visit!!
Austin is congested and super expensive... $100 for all day parking downtown when garages are full.. No thanks
@@HollywoodConnection-JAST you just don't know where to go man
J Maddox shut up
@@HollywoodConnection-JAST $100 for an entire day? I've lived in Austin for many years and I've never ever heard of anyone having to pay that much for all day parking in Austin.
krash2002 try $38 to park for dinner downtown Austin. Downtown Austin used to be a place to go out, have a few drinks, listen to great music, and meet awesome people. Now it’s an overpriced congested douchebag capitol with $18 muddled mint and eatable flower drinks, a bunch of filler injected anorexic fake boobs on legs and their small penis overcompensating boyfriends California refugees.
These are the kinds of skits where Jimmy really shines!
This might be the best thing they have ever done on here....holy cow. The logistics, the effort and the coordination is just crazy. Good stuff fALLON
Justin Snyder
Yes, totally agree while I watched the video a few tunes in a row.
And to pull it off nearly flawless was pretty cool. As I mentioned a few times already... it gave me goose bumps just loving to see people having pride together clapping etc. Love that stuff.
And it helped that it was backed by a cool, bouncy melody John Denver tune, rewritten.
Very cool!
LOL no.
Alright, Alright, Alright! Fantastic video. Well done.
WOW FREAKIN AWESOME TO SEE TEXAS SHINE LIKE THIS!!!💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤WATCHIN FROM SAN ANTONIO,TX & THIS MAKES BE FEEL SUPER PROUD TO BE BORN & RAISED IN THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS BABY!!!!❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙
Great state? Thanks to you Trump won
@@cisnerosmike Sadly I think you are right... You americans lmao
Sorry Spider-Man, she meant to say the BEST state. San Antonio represent! And Trump wasn't San Antonio's fault 😜 I hope Trump doesn't win next year, but I do hope Julian Castro does 🙌
El comunista dosen't represent the values of true Tejanos . The honest truth I'm not worried because pretty soon Castro will be serving fresh hot Flour tortillas at the Alamo Cafe just like Francis O'Rourke is doing right now
🇺🇸Trump 20/20🇺🇸 Let's keep America Great!
@@BORDERMAN2000 Lmao yeah... Great
This is freakin fantastic! The production was over the top and the song lyrics are ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!! It actually gave me goosebumps.
this video just proves to me that I 100% go to the best university in the country
Go Big! Go hard! Jimmy that was Amazing! The crowd even had Light-up wristbands. 🎉🏆🌟🎼🎶Thank God for that country boy!!
GOD BLESS TEXAS 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻HOOK EM BOYS
Wishing there was a love button
This makes me miss being a student at UT Austin. Half the time watching this, I was like, "Hey! I know that spot!" hahaha
He's just a big goof! And he has so much fun! Good guitar player and singer too.
I instantly thought of the movie Son in Law when I saw this 😂😂
That’s the only thing I can think of whenever I hear this song!
YES!!!!!
Same!!!!
“Life here is kinda laid back. I drink a 36 before I even unpacked”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, it’s “got drunk on dirty 6th” which is referencing an area in Austin that is a ton of bars that college kids go to.
It’s so awesome to see my friend in this video as he performed in the drum line.
This Austinite approves!
Great job Jimmy!!!
Hookem horns!!!!! Hell ya badass show !!! Longhorn over here i bleed burnt Orange true born and breed Texan here😘💖💯this cowgirl loven it
Born and raised in Austin and damn I love this city. It’s changed so much so fast but starting out at the hole in the wall was awesome. I would of gone crazy if he let the all right all right all right rip at the Top Notch. We got great music here country included.
Nice job Jimmy. Glad you came to Texas and enjoyed yourself. You're alright 😉
Been watching on repeat since this was posted. Also OU could NEVER
I’ve watched this 10 times now lol Proud Texan right here!! Yee Yee
I’m from Houston, and UT is actually my dream school😂😂
Aless Alcaraz oh no
Smart man!
Best Public School in Texas! hope to see you on the 40 Acres soon, I was once in your shoes not to long ago dreaming about UT! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I know a guy who got rejected by a&m and got accepted by ut
Keep dreaming boy 🤟🏽
Well that was freaking awesome! Now come to DENVER and sing ROCkY MOUNTAIN “HIGH”!!!
This is awesome
"Thank God I'm a Country Boy" in Austin? What's next, Johnny Cash in San Francisco?
my thoughts were along this line haha!
Johnny Cash has always been popular in SF.
LMFAO AS SOMEONE WITH AN ANCESTOR IN THE TEXAS STATE CEMETERY AND IM FROM ARKANSAS IM DYING OF LAUGHTER
Austin is Country to a New Yorker
Exactly.

Makes me so proud to see my hometown on tv
He normally hides his full potential voice when he sings (since hes cast as a comedian firsthand) but this song demands full bellowing, which he did, he is an amazing singer!
This guy is a show' deserves something but im not sure what. Dope song
Yep, it's that great here. Never boring and lots of good people.
That was quite a production !!!
Oh boy...lol. I Love Jimmy. He always has me laughing. 😊😆 Loved it. 💖
Those who dislike the video are all those Aggies 😂
🤟🏾BEST INTRO EVER 🤟🏾
Great Job Fallon! It was the BEST SONG IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE THAT WAS WELLED PERFORMED BY A LATE NIGHT HOST!!!! THERE SHOULD BE AN AWORD FOR THIS!!!! Congrats again Fallon! 👍😎
Actually it’s very cold down here in Texas right now 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I know! It almost got below 80 degrees! Had to break out my coat.
Daniel Strain 😂
Dew War get ready for that arctic front that’s supposed to move in in a couple of days!
Jimmy is adorable in any state! He should come to Illinois!
Such a beautiful view of my alma mater! Love it! Thanks, Tonight Show!
This was so much fun to watch and made me smile after a horrible day. Thank you Jimmy! ❤
I never thought I'd ever see the day Black Thought rapping about Texas...
I’ve been to Austin and not once did it feel “Country”. Awesome food truck scene though.
Haters gonna hate but this was dope!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
As an Austinite for 20 years, you did good son :) I hope you get some Terry Blacks while your here and check out some of Mount Bonnell :) They are some of the best of what we have to offer :) YALL COME BACK NOW YA HEAR?!
Thanks Jimmy Fallon as this song is so addictive now.
Fun, clever, multi talented! Love it! 💕
JIMMY FALLON IS DA BEST TALK SHOW HOST
This is so accurate it’s scary 🤣🤣HOOK EM forever🤘
Damn. They did that right.
This was good one Jimmy 👍😊❤
I am from Fort Worth. And I love Austin
People always talk about how OTHER states see Texas MORE Country than what it really is,
Yet we Texans are the ones painting the picture of how Country we are.
Great Vid!
Texas is proud🤠
yee yee
Awesome video..The lyrics and music is phenomenal. Always loved Jimmy. Hook-em Horns
UT 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My teacher showed me this in our English class, she went to UT and was so proud of this video. She even convinced us to go there when we got older.
What did I just watch. This is Lit!!!
so glad he finally did this
I just love how much fun Jimmy has no matter what he does. I don't know squat about Austin, and I'm smiling from ear to ear 😊
Shut my back door, that was awesome! Sending you love from South Africa!! Thank god I'm a country girl!
HOOK EM BABY 🤘🏽
MUCH better than I expected!! :D Doesn't beat the original but he still did a REALLY good job with that!! :D
This is awesome!!!
- From South Texas!!
Wow am a country boy you are amazing Jimmy👏👏👏👏
Jimmy, you sure know how to bring a divided country together. We really need more of this city comes to country stuff.
