Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
Here's a song I wrote on a plane between Dallas (D major)
and Austin
Goin' to El Paso
Whoops
Now this is what gave us the
idea to come down here,
This is a song about a guy that
probably did as much for
Our kind of music as anybody.

Verse 2
Well (D major) the Honky Tonks in Texas
were my (G major) natural second home
The (D major) way you tip your hat to the ladies
in the rose of San Antone (A major)
Verse 3
(G major) I grew up on music that we
(D major) call western swing
It don't matter whose in Austin,
Bob (A major) Wills is still the King
(D major)
Verse 4
Lord, I can still remember the (G major) way
things were back (D major) then
In spite of all the hard
times I'd live it all again
(A major) To (G major) hear the Texas Playboys
and (D major) Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas
where Bob (A major) Wills is still the King
(D major)
Verse 5
You can (G major) hear the Grand Ol'
Opry in (D major) Nashville Tennessee
Its the home of country music
on that we all agree (A major)
But when you (D major) cross that
ol' Red River hoss,
That (G major) just don't mean a thing (D major)
Once you're down in Texas,
Bob (A major) Wills is still the King
Interlude 1

Verse 6
If (G major) you ain't never been there,
then I (D major) guess you aint been told
That you just can't live in Texas
unless you got alot of soul (A major)
Its the (D major) home of Willie Nelson,
(G major) the home of western swing (D major)
He'll be the first to tell you,
Bob (A major) Wills is still the (D major) King.
