[E]
[B] Well, the honky [Em]-tonks in Texas [A] were my natural second [E] home
Where you tipped your hats to the ladies and the rows of [B] San Antonio
[A] I grew up on music [E] that we called Western Swing
It don't matter who's in Austin, [B] Bob Wills is still [E] the king
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 a [B] lot of soul
[E] It's the home of Willie, what's his name, [A] and the home of [E] Western Swing
He'll be the first to tell you, [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king Sure, Lou
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[A] The grand old uproar [E] from Nashville, Tennessee
It's the home of country music, a home that we [B] all agree
[E] When you cross that old Red River Hoss, [A] that just don't [E] mean a thing
Once you're back in Texas, [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king
I
[N]
[B]
[N]
really wrote that song because I was mad at Willie
And it was a letter, I thought I'd write him a letter in rhyme
And the more I got along with it, this ain't bad
Willie gonna really like this, he gonna wish he had one like that
Sure enough, he got four or five of them
Let me introduce the band to you
He's our band leader and our red guitar player
His name is Jerry Bridges, give him a big hand
Back here on the piano, he's great, his name is Barry Walsh, give him a big hand
Back here, behind them drums, his name is Jeff Hale, and a good boy
And from Austin, Texas
Well, really I lied to you about the Austin part
You see, he ain't been with us very long, and he's a good bass player
And I'm afraid he might get his feelings hurt and quit if you didn't give him a big hand
So I told you he's from Austin
Smarter than a whoop, right?
His name is Kevin Hogan, give him a big hand
Now this one here, come on over here, hon
This is our newest member to our band
This is my daughter, Jennifer
