C                                 F              C
Sing me a song about Texas if you want to see me smile
        F                     C                               G
You can throw in a line about doing some time in Mexico for a while
      C                        F                C
Don’t sing about California or Nashville, Tennessee
     F                      C                        G                 C
I’ve never been there and I really don’t care ‘cause Texas is home for me


Chorus:
                   F              G            C       C/B   Am  
And I’ve been from Longview to El Paso and way down to San Antone
         F                         G  
And I’ve never seen a country with so much land to roam
              F               G             C           C/B    Am   
I’ve got this feeling deep inside me that’s never gonna let me leave
              F                   G                   F        G        C
‘Cause you’re never alone in that Lone Star state and Texas is home for me


Play me some home-grown music, something with a lot of soul
Play it slow and sweet or you can pick up the beat with that good old Rock and Roll
Let the music tell a story, talk about where you’ve been
How you traveled around until you finally found your way back home again

Chorus

So sing me a song about Texas if you want to see me smile
You can throw in a line about doing some time in Mexico for a while
You got to play it like you feel it, don’t worry about how you sound
If the feeling is right you can ‘em all night and the crowd will gather around


Chorus
