Karaoke Bob Wills Is Still The King

Here's a song I wrote on a plane between
Dallas and Austin
Goin' to El Paso
Whoops
Now 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 kinda music as anybody
Well the honky tonks in Texas were my natural second home, yeah
Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antoine
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
'Cos once you're down in Texas
Bob Wills is still the king here we go
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
Well thank you
