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
