Live at Billy Bob's Texas,
the original honky -tonk hero,
The heart of Texas where I was born,
The Lone Star stays where
God Almighty's been good to me
Where I grew up I learned
With a feeling of pride down
You can be all you want to be
Yes right there we're the best here
Smack dab in the heart of Texas,
Papa run off before I was born
Mama picked cotton just to raise us kids
We grew up in the cotton field
So we learned how to work
learned how to put a bunch
listened to the songs I played
She said I love you honey
But there ain't much money in the serenade
I need a man with a real job
Now she's back there where I left
God knows I still think about
But she knows these clothes I'm wearing
Is the kind that sure tells
I'm always flapping in the wind
Texas is home, sweet home
Yeah, it's right there where
Smack dab in the heart of Texas
Where my songs are always played
Girls say, honey, where you been?
