I SING SONGS ABOUT TEXAS
D                   A                        E
SING THEM OFTEN AS IF SHE WAS SOME OLD LOVER I USED TO KNOW
A                         D                           A
WISH I COULD FOLLOW THEM BACK TO THE HOMELAND EVERY TIME
                 E   A
I HEAR ONE ON MY RADIO


TWIN FIDDLES PLAYING IN MY MEMORY 
MY DADDY SANG THE WONDERS OF OLD COW TOWN
SILVER HAIR AND HE'S STILL THERE UNDER A SKY SO WARM AND FAIR
I TELL YOU FRIENDS THERE'S A SONG IN EVERY TOWN.

E                      D              A
SING ME ONE MORE SONG ABOUT OLD SAN ANTONE
E                             D        A
SEEMS LIKE A DREAM NOW IT WAS SO LONG AGO   
E                              D            F#m E
GUY CLARK HE CAN BE JUST LIKE A COAT FROM THE COLD
A                 D                        A
SONGS ABOUT TEXAS SING THEM OFTEN EVERY TIME
E                   A
I THINK I'VE GOT NO HOME


NOTHING SHORT OF THE GOSPEL HYMNS
I GUESS THAT'S WHY FOLKS KEEP WRITING 'UM
AND WHEN I DIE
I WANT TO GO THERE TOO

SOMEDAY I HOPE TO WALK ALONG HEAVENS STREET
I'LL STILL BE LOOKING FOR MY TACO MEAT
AND I SWEAR I HEAR A STEEL GUITAR
JUST RISING IN THE AIR

CHORUS

WHEN THE NIGHT IS REAL REAL STILL
I SWEAR I COULD HEAR A WHIPPEREWILL
SHE KNOWS THERE'S MUSIC IN THE IN THE DIRT DOWN THERE
HILL COUNTRY RAIN IS A CLEANSING THING AND I HAVE TO SEE ONE
AND I'LL BE SITTING IN A SHALLOW CREEK WITH NOTHING TO DO

CHORUS

LAST CHORUS
SING ME ONE MORE SONG ABOUT OLD SAN ANTONE
THEM HONKY TONK ANGELS AND THEIR LONELY BE HIVE PAIN
WISH I WAS STOWED AWAY ON SOME FAST MOVING TRAIN GOING HOME
SONGS ABOUT TEXAS SING THEM OFTEN EVERY TIME
I THINK I'VE GOT NO HOME
