Bob Wills is still the king - Waylon Jennings
[Intro]
E E E A
E E E A
[Verse 1]
EWell the honky-tonks in Texas were my Anatural second Ehome
Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the Rose of San AnBtone
AI grew up on music that Ewe called western swing
It don't matter who's in Austin, Bob BWills is still the Eking
[Verse 2]
Lord, I can still remember, the Away things were back Ethen
In spite of all the hard times, I'd live it all aBgain
To Ahear the Texas Playboys and ETommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob BWills is still the Eking
[Verse 3]
You can Ahear the Grand Ol' Opry in ENashville, Tennessee
It's the home of country music, on that we all agBree
But when you Ecross that ol' Red River, hoss, that Ajust don't mean a Ething
Cause' once you're down in Texas, Bob BWills is still the Eking
[Verse 4]
Well if you aAin't never been there then I Eguess you ain't been told
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of Bsoul
It's the Ehome of Willie Nelson, the Ahome of western Eswing
He'll be the first to tell you, Bob BWills is still the Eking

The story behind the song

This song is a plainspoken tribute to Bob Wills, a Western swing musician, that also aims a playful jab at contemporary country trends, including the outlaw country movement Waylon Jennings himself helped create. It's a celebration of Texas and its musical roots, referencing Wills' songs and band, as well as the honky-tonks and geography of the state. While it honors a musical legend, it also playfully suggests that even with new artists on the scene, Bob Wills' legacy remains paramount. At its heart, it plays like a good-natured yet firm declaration of enduring musical royalty.
