[E]
Here's a song I wrote on a plane between Dallas and Austin, going 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.
Well the honky tonks in Texas were [A] my natural [E] second home.
Where you tip your hat to the ladies and [B] the Rose of San Antone.
[E] [A] I grew up on music [E] that we call Western Swing.
It don't matter who's in Austin, [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
Lord, I can still remember [A] the way things [E] were back then.
In spite of all the hard times, I'd live it all [B] again.
[A] Hear the Texas Playboys [E] and Tommy Duncan sing.
Makes me proud to be from Texas [B] where Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
[A] You can hear the grand old opery [E] in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's the home of country music, home that we [B] all agree.
[E] But when you cross that old Red River, [A] horse, that just don't [E] mean a thing.
Once you're down in Texas, [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.

[A] Well if you ain't never been [E] there, then I guess you ain't been told.
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a [B] lot of soul.
[E] It's the home of Willie Nelson, [A] the home of [E] Western Swing.
He'll be the first to tell you [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
