(Willie):
     D                                                            A
I've been on the road most all of my life, traveled from coast to coast
                                                                              D
In search of some pleasures and treasures and things, whatever pleased me the most
                                                                                    G
Like bandanas and blue jeans and old cowboy clothes, that bring back an old country song
                                   D                      C                G     G/B  D
About rough rides and red eyes and old broken bones, and railroad tracks runnin' back home


CHORUS:
G                         D
Put me on a train back to Texas
     G                         D
I've been where the highwaymen roam
G                         D
Put me on a train back to Texas
        C          G     G/B  D
Wake me up when we reach San Antone
        C          G     G/B  D
Wake me up when we reach San Antone


(Waylon):
Mama said home's where the heart is, like Bob Wills said in a poem
My heart is there in the middle of Texas, beside the old Alamo
Like my broken-in saddle and old leather boots, I'm worn but I'm still goin' strong
Cowboys can tell when the seasons are changing and I think it's time to move on


CHORUS
