You'll Never Take the Texas Out of Me

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 Trippin' 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

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

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

You can take the music out of Texas

But you'll never take Texas out of me
