Bob Wills Is Still the King

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
