Bob Wills Is Still the King

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 kind of music as anybody. Well, the Honky Tonks in Texas Were my natural second home The way you tip your hat to the ladies In the rose of San Antone. I grew up on music That we call western swing It don't matter whose in Austin Bob Wills is still the king. Lawd, 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 Once youre down in Texas Bob Wills is still the king. If you aint never been there Then I guess you ain't been told That you just can't live in Texas Unless you got alot 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... --- Bob Wills Is Still the King - Waylon Jennings
