Bob Wills Is Still The King Lyrics - Still The King: Celebrating The Music Of Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys - Asleep At The Wheel

Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home 

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

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 

Cause' once you're down in Texas,Bob Wills is still the king 

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
