Bob Wills Is Still the King
Bob Wills Is Still the King
by Waylon Jennings
CFC
Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
G7
Where you tip your hat to the ladies and the Rose Of San Antone
FC
I grew up on music that we called Western Swing
G7C
It don't matter who's in Austin Bob Wills is still the king
FC
Lord I can still remember the way things were back then
G7
In spite of all the hard times I'd live it all again
FC
To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
G7C
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the king
FC
You can hear the Grand Ole Opry in NashvilleTennessee
G7
It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
CFC
But when you cross that old Red Riverhossthat just don't mean a thing
G7C
'Cause once you're down in Texas Bob Wills is still the king
FC
Well if you ain't never been there then I guess you ain't been told
G7
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul
CFC
It's the home of Willie Nelson the home of Western Swing
G7C
He'll be the first to tell you Bob Wills is still the king
