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 and tenses were [A] my natural [E] second home.
Where did you head to the ladies and the rose [B] of San Antonio?
[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.
But I can still remember [A] the way things were [E] back then.
In spite of all the hard times, I'd live [B] it all again.
[Ab] [A] Hear the Texas [E] playboys and Tommy Duncan sing.
Makes me proud to be from Texas [Em] where [B] Bob Wills is still [E] the king.
[A] You can hear the granola cream, [E] Nashville, Tennessee.
It's the home of country music, home that we [B] all agree.
[E] But when you cross that old Red River, horse, that [A] just don't mean a [E] thing.
Once you're down in [B] Texas, Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
[Abm] [A]
[E] [Bm]
[B] [E] Well [A] if you ain't never been there, [E] then I guess you ain't been told.
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got [B] a lot of soul.
[E] It's the home of Willie Nelson, [A] home of western [E] swing.
He'll be the first to tell you [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
