Well you A7/6think you E9pull your A7/6boots on E9right,

Even Moses got excited,
when he saw the promised land.

But A7/6TexasCis7 wanD7t's Dis7you aE7nyway.

See I was born and raised in Texas,
and it means so much to me.
Though my girl comes from down in Georgia,
we live up near Abilene.

As we were driving down the highway,
she asked me, "Baby what's so great?
How come you're always goin' on
about your Lone-Star State?"

I said,

CHORUS (2x):...

Oh the road, it looked so lovely,
as she stood there on the side,
and she grew smaller in my mirror,
as I watched her wave goodbye.

CHORUS (instr.):...

Now those D9boys from CaroA7/6lina,
they D9sho' enough could [B7#9]sing.E9
When they A7/6came on E9down to A7/6Texas,B7/6
we all B7/6showed them how to E9swing.

And now D9David's back in A7/6Spartanburg,
and ol' D9Champ is out on the [B7#9]farm,E9
and Uncle A7/6Walt is E9home with A7/6Heidi,E9
[B7#9]hiding inE9 her loviA7/6n'.E9

CHORUS (2x):...

So won't you let me help you mister.
Just pull your hat down the way I do,
and buy your pants just a little longer,
and next time somebody laughs at you,

Just tell 'em

CHORUS (2x):...
