Well the Honky Tonks in Texas were my natural second home 
The way you tip your hat to the ladies in the rose of San Antone

I grew up on music that we call western swing 
It don't matter whose in Austin, Bob Wills is still the King

Lawd, 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 Ole Opry in Nashville Tennessee 
Its the home of country music on that we all agree 
But when you cross that old Red River hoss, 
That just don't mean a thing 
Once you’re down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the King

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.
