Karaoké Bob Wills Is Still the King Waylon Jennings

Here's a song I wrote on a plane between

Dallas and Austin

Goin' to El Paso

Whoops

Now this is what gave us the idea to come down here this is a song about a guy that

Probably did as much for our kinda music as anybody

Well the honky tonks in Texas were my natural second home, yeah

Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antoine

I grew up on music that we called western swing

It don't matter who's in Austin

Bob Wills is still the king

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

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

'Cos once you're down in Texas

Bob Wills is still the king

Here we go

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

Well thank you
