LA7/ MI9 LA7/ MI9
You say you're not from Texas.
LA7/ MI9 LA7/ MI9
Man, as if I couldn't tell.
LA7/ MI9 LA7/ MI9
Well you think you pull your boots on right,
SI7#9 MI9 LA7/ MI9
and wear your hat so well.
So pardon me my laughter,
'cause I sure do understand.
Even Moses got excited,
when he saw the promised land.
(Chorus)
LA7/ RE7 MI7
That's right, you're not from Texas
LA7/ RE7 MI7
That's right, you're not from Texas
LA7/ RE7 MI7
That's right, you're not from Texas
LA7/ DO#7 RE7 MIb7 MI7
But Texas want's you anyway.
(repeat)
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 2 times)
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 - chords only 1 time)
RE9 LA7/
Now those boys from Carolina,
RE9 SI7#9 MI9
they sho' enough could sing.
LA7/ MI9 LA7/ SIb7/
When they came on down to Texas,
SI7/ MI9
we all showed them how to swing.
RE9 LA7/
And now David's back in Spartanburg,
RE9 SI7#9 MI9
and ol' Champ is out on the farm,
LA7/ MI9 LA7/ MI9
and Uncle Walt is home with Heidi,
SI7#9 MI9 LA7/ MI9
hiding in her lovin'.
(Chorus 2 times)
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 2 times)
