and I know [G] how they felt because back in the early 80s I went to see Bob Dylan
and I [B] really wanted to hear Bob Dylan do Masters of War but he did but he didn't do it
or he did it and I didn't [A] recognize it
_ _ you got that gig [F] I mean [G] _ G.E. Smith was in the band I don't even think he knew what they were playing
it was [Dm] a pretty but but [Am] Bob is doing great now he's got [G] our good friend Charlie Sexton
[B] in the band and [N] so that's a great band right [Em] there with Charlie

[B] that have that void [Dm] in your life _ [D] like having me sing [G] the song up against the wall redneck
mother can fill that hole within you _ _ _ well it may [A] not [Bb] say a lot [Bm] for either [G] one of us
_ um but let me explain a little bit of it in case you're wondering why the hell I'm singing this
old song a long time ago in a land far away called West _ Texas _ if you was a young
_ long-haired cosmic cowboy _ hippie _ did I say young _ _ _ _ _ _
um musician it was very dangerous times this was before Willie Nelson sang at the Armadillo
World Headquarters in Austin Texas bringing the hippies and the rednecks together through the
damn good country song _ _ _ _ _ _

[D] made in Texas he likes beer and I'm Texas [G] therefore he likes Texas _ _ _ _ _ _ _ he put it in his
GMC pickup [Cm] truck he got him a Ford he gave it [G] to his son [D] who put a little plastic statue of
Robert Earl Keen [G] on the dashboard just to say where I come from and it's up against the wall
[D]

[C] and a hoggy top _ _ _
[D] and it's up against _ _ the wall
[G] well _ _ _ you _ _ know him is actually for the mileage that [C] I've got out of this song to tell you the
truth [D] this song should have been done buried 20-25 years ago [G] probably never even written
it let alone remember let alone recorded I mean it's only got three chords in it
it's [C] politically incorrect or that but the [D] way that I look at it is _ _ careers have been built [G] on
less _ _ I wonder what vanilla ice is doing tonight I _ [C] got a gig I _ [G] hope it's for [D] okay that's about
enough of this he is for [G] Texas comma looking bop Texas where Jerry Jeff Walker recorded this a long _ _
