[Am] [E]
Here's a song I wrote on a plane between Dallas and Austin, going to El Paso.
Oops.
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 fine as were the peccary [E] homes.
Where did your hat to the ladies and the [B] rose 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 still [E] 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.
[A] Hear the Texas playboys [E] and Tommy Duncan sing.
Makes me proud to be from Texas where [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
[A] You can hear the grand old lottery [E] in Nashville, Tennessee.
It's the home of country music, on that we all [B] agree.
But [E] 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.
Well,
[Abm] [A] [E]
[B] [E]
[A] if you ain't never been [E] there, then I guess you ain't been told.
Unless you just can't live in Texas, unless you got [B] a love 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.
