[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ Welcome back folks to the Texas music scene.
I mean have we got one hell of a treat for you all up [C] next.
My good friend, the Texas music legend Gary P.
[F] Nunn is going to do one of his [C] iconic songs for [D] us live.
[G] So, tell us Mr.
Nunn, what do you like about Texas?
_ _ What I like about Texas?
[Cm] Well that came about, Jerry Rissloff from [F] Lonestar Beer gave me a call one day
[C] and [Am] said we needed [G] another ad for Lonestar.
We'd done one [Am] previously.
_ And [Bm] so _ _ [C] I thought about it for a while and I'd [D] been up to Colorado and I was coming back [E] down out of the mountains
[D] and looking at [F] the plains of Texas [Dm] and so I [C] got a vision, [Bm] a vision of [D] what the song would [G] be.
And I drove one down to my mother's house, it was Christmas [C] Day, and went in our piano _ and made [F] it up and that was it.
It was [Dm] an ad [C] for Lonestar Beer.
[G] I love the songs, one of my favorite songs that I do and I enjoy doing it.
The audience always seems, I always get a really good response from it.
So, yeah, badge of honor.
I'll just wear that with pride.
