You'll Never Take The Texas Out Of Me

(album: A Man Called Hoss - 1988)

I love to hear them old twin fiddles
They can do more damage than a gun
Have you ever seen a cowboy on the dance floor
I'm convinced that's how the west was won

Were you there at the Tripping Springs reunion
For me, that's how it all began
It was me and Hank and Ernest Tubb and Willie
There to win the battle of the bands

[CHORUS:]
I may sing my songs the whole world over
I may live in Tennessee
You can take the music out of Texas
But you'll never take Texas out of me

Now I can buy my boots in New York City
Get my big black hats in New Orleans
And even draw a crowd in London England
And they all come in decked out in boots and jeans

[CHORUS]

You can take the music out of Texas
But you'll never take Texas out of me
