  Well  the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural  second home
  Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
   I grew up on music that we called  western swing
  It don't matter who's in Austin,Bob Wills  is still the king
  Lord  i can still remember,the way  things were back then
  In spite of all the hard times,i'd live it all again
   To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy  Duncan sing
  Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills  is still the king
  You can hear  the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville  Tennessee
  It's the home of country music,on that we all agree
   But when you cross that ol' Red River hoss that just  don't mean a thing
  Cause' once you're down in Texas,Bob Wills  is still the king
  Well if you ain't  never been there then i guess  you ain't been told
  That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
   It's the home of Willie Nelson,the home  of western swing
  He'll be the first to tell you,Bob Wills  is still the king
