[Verse 1]
          E
Well I'll tell you folks one thing
    A               E
And hope you'd understand
                                                         B
I've traveled from the far side to the near side of this land
         E
And I've seen it all
                 A              E
Roll out from my windshield and then

Said I'm goin' back to Texas
   B         E
As fast as I can


[Chorus]
         A
Some say home is where the heart is
   E
It ain't no piece of land
      A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E               B
Just south of Austin
            E
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
A                   E
Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop
B               E
Before I get to heaven


[Verse 2]
          E
Well I've been up around the Great Lakes
    A             E
And over to New England

Didn't see too many cowboy hats
                               B
Didn't hear many "Thank you Ma'am's"
         E
And I've been up around the Northwest
            A                 E
Where those trees are big and tall

But it always made me so sad
       B                   E
Not to hear the folks say "Y'all"


[Chorus]
         A
Some say home is where the heart is
   E
It ain't no piece of land
      A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E               B
Just south of Austin
            E
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
A                   E
Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop
B               E
Before I get to heaven

[Bridge]
A        E
Oooo-ee, smell that mesquite my Darlin
A        E
Oooo-ee, smell that bar-be-que
      A
Those cotton wood trees
E
And those cicadas singin
B
  They're all waiting just to greet you


[Verse 3]
          E
Well I've even been to Paris
    A               E
and although it was great

If I'm goin back to Paris
                              B
it's the one in the Lone Star State
           E
'Cause I'd only miss those honkytonks,
A                  E
Friendly folks and women

Yea I'm going back to Texas
   B         E
as fast as I can


[Chorus]
         A
Some say home is where the heart is
   E
It ain't no piece of land
      A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E               B
Just south of Austin
            E
And I'll be drivin' that old wreck
A                   E
Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop
B               E
Before I get to heaven
E
Texas is the last stop
B               A
Before I get to heaven
B           (E)
Ahhhh-mennn!
