Bob Wills is Still the King lyrics
Bob Wills is Still the King lyrics
Well, the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
Where you tip your hat 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
Well, I can still remember the way things were back then
In spite of all the hard times, I'd do it all again
To hear the Texas Playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king
You can hear the Grand Ole Opry from Nashville, Tennessee
It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
But when you cross that old Red River, boy, well that don't mean a thing
'Cause when you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king
Well, if you ain't never been there, I guess you ain't been told
You gonna live in Texas, you gotta have a lotta soul
It's the home of Willie Nelson, it's the home of Western Swing
'Cause when you're down in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king
Now when you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king
