Bob Wills Is Still The King Lyrics

Verse 1:

 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

 

 Verse 2:

 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	

 

 Verse 3:

 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

 

 Verse 4:

 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
