Verse 1
(G major) Live at Billy Bob's Texas,
the original honky -tonk hero,
Mr. Billy Joe Shaver! (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
The heart of Texas (D major) where (G major) I was born,
I'm proud to say
The Lone Star stays where
I'm com (C major) ing from
God Almighty's been good (G major) to me
Where I grew up I learned
about the Alamo
With a feeling of pride down
deep inside me
Saying go (C major) man go
You can be all you want (G major) to be
Yes right (D major) there we're the best here
Smack (C major) dab in the heart of Texas,
thank (G major) you ma 'am (D major) (G major)
Papa run off before I was born
Mama picked cotton just to raise us kids
In the Texas (C major) sun
We grew up in the cot (G major) ton field (D major) (G major)
So we learned how to work
learned how to put a bunch
of words together
As the (C major) years rolled by
God gave me a way (G major) to go
And when my sweetheart
listened to the songs I played
She said I love you honey
But there ain't much money in the (C major) serenade
I need a man with a real (G major) job
Now she's back (D major) there where I left
God (C major) knows I still think about
her now (G major) and then
But she knows (D major) these clothes I'm wearing
Is the kind (C major) that sure tells
I'm always flapping in (G major) the wind

And over (G major) the water
couldn't get no hotter

The (G major) road is long, (D major) (G major) but the heart is strong (D major)

And Texas is still (C major) my home
Verse 8
Texas is home, (G major) sweet home
Yeah, it's right (D major) there where

Where my songs (D major) are always played
And in good (C major) old Texas
Girls say, honey, where (G major) you been?
