_ 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.
