Honkytonkville is the twenty-second studio album by American country music singer George Strait, released in June 10, 2003 by MCA Nashville. One of only a few albums of his career not to produce a Number One single, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA. It produced the singles "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa", "Cowboys Like Us" and "Desperately", at #11, #2 and #6 respectively on the country charts. "Honk If You Honky Tonk" also charted at #45 based on unsolicited airplay.

"She Used to Say That to Me" was originally recorded by Rick Trevino on his 1995 album, Looking for the Light. "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa" was originally recorded by Merle Haggard on his 1986 album Out Among The Stars. "Desperately" was originally recorded by Bruce Robison on his 1998 album Wrapped.
