(bob duncan, jeff durrill)
Well, they’re rompin’ down in austin
And they call it western swing
They even wrote a song that says
Bob wills is still the king
Well that I can agree with
But this much I declare
There’s more to country music
Than outlaws and lone star beer
From tennessee to texas,
They say it’s all the same
Well, there’s no t in nashville,
But we’ve got our claim to fame
It’s called the house that hank built
And it’s sacred, lord, I swear
There’s more to country music
Than outlaws and lone star beer
Well, there’s more to country music
Than the hurtin’ side a’ life
Like takin’ pride in fam’ly
And a good, warm, lovin’ wife
There’s more to country music
Than to leave somebody cryin’
And the cheatin’
And the lyin’
Now brothers, understand me
I don’t put nobody down
’cause we all know with what you do
Well you’re the best around
But as I stand to cheer you
I’ll make my feelin’s clear:
There’s more to country music
Than outlaws and lone star beer
Yeah, there’s more to country music
Than outlaws and lone star beer
