Bob Wills Is Still The King - Live in Texas - September 1974

Bob Wills Is Still the King (Live)
 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...
