I SING SONGS ABOUT TEXAS
D                   A            
SING THEM OFTEN AS IF SHE WAS 
            E
SOME OLD LOVER I USED TO KNOW
A                         D      
WISH I COULD FOLLOW THEM BACK TO 
                     A
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.

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
