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
