Bob Wills Is Still The King
Well, this next song is a tune that the Rolling Stones
Actually covered one of their live records
But I kinda tend to favor the original
That Mr. Waylon Jennings wrote
About one of my heroes
Mr. Bob Wills
And I believe like Waylon like said back then, you know
Once you're down in Texas
"Bob Wills is Still the King", ladies and gentlemen
Well, the honky tonks in Texas
Were my natural second home
The way you tip your hat to the ladies
And that old "Rose of San Antone"
Well, I grew up on music that we call Western Swing
It don't matter who's in Austin
Bob Wills is still the King
Lord, I can still remember all the way it was back then
In spite of all the hard times, I'd do it all again
Well, to hear the Texas Playboys and ole Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas
Where Bob Wills is still the King
You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry out of 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
Play that fiddle, boy!
Well, if you ain't never been there
Well, 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
It's the home of Western Swing
And he'll be the first to tell you
Bob Wills is still the King
Yes, I'm proud to be from Texas
Bob Wills is still the King
Yeah, there we go
Actually covered one of their live records
But I kinda tend to favor the original
That Mr. Waylon Jennings wrote
About one of my heroes
Mr. Bob Wills
And I believe like Waylon like said back then, you know
Once you're down in Texas
"Bob Wills is Still the King", ladies and gentlemen
Well, the honky tonks in Texas

Well, I grew up on music that we call Western Swing

Yes, I'm proud to be from Texas
Bob Wills is still the King
Yeah, there we go
