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 [A] were my natural [E] second home
Where you tip your hat to the ladies and the [B] Rose of San Antone
[E] [A] I grew up on music [E] that we call Western Swing
It don't matter who's in [B] Austin 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 it [B] all again
[A] Here the Texas Playboys [E] and Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas [B] where Bob Wells is [E] still the king
You [A] can hear the grand old lottery
[E] Nashville, Tennessee
It's the home of country music all that we all [B] 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 [B] Texas Bob Wills is still [E] the king
Well [A]
[E] [B]
[E] [A] 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 lot [B] of soul
[E] It's the home of Willie Nelson
[A] The home of [E] Western Swing
He'll be the first to tell [B] you Bob Wills is [E] still the king
