Standard (EADGBE)

There wouldn’t be no Alamo,

No Cowboys in the Super Bowl

 No Lonesome Dove, no Yellow Rose

 If it wasn’t for Texas

 I wouldn’t be a Willie fan,

 No body swam the Rio Grand

 I wouldn’t be an American,

 If it wasn’t for Texas

Chorus

 Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,

 There’d be no Austin City Limits sign

 No lone star of any kind,

 If it wasn’t for Texas

 I’d never gone to Tennessee,

 To sing my songs and chase my dreams

Only heaven knows just where I’d be,

 If it wasn’t for Texas

Repeat Chorus:

Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,

 There’d be no Austin City Limits sign

 No lone star of any kind,

 If it wasn’t for Texas

It made me the man I am,

 Thank God for my ole’ stomping ground

 Wouldn’t be standing right here, right now

 If it wasn’t for Texas,

 If it wasn’t for Texas,

 If it wasn’t for Texas
