[Verse 1]

G
The heart of Texas is where i was born

C/G
By twist of fate the lonestar state's where i'm coming from

G
God almighty's been good to me

[Verse 2]

Where i grow'd up learning about the Alamo

C/G
With a swelling pride down deep inside me saying go man go

G
You can be all you want to be

[Chorus]

G D
Yeah it's right there where the best is

C/G G
Smack dab in the heart of Texas,thank you Mam

G
Papa run off before i was born

C/G
Mama picked cotton just to raise us kids in the Texas sun

G
We grew up in the cotton fields

[Verse](Waylon,Billy Joe)

G
So i learned how to work and i learned how to fight

C/G
I learned how to put a bunch of words together as the years rolled by

G
God gave me a way to go

[Verse](Waylon,Billy Joe)

G
When my sweetheart listened to the songs i played

C/G
She said i love you honey,but there ain't much money in a serenade

G
I need a man with a real job

[Bridge](Waylon,Billy Joe)

G D
Now she's back there where i left her

C/G G
God knows i still think about her now and then

D
But she knows these clothes i'm wearin'

C/G G
Is the kind that shirt tails always flappin' in the wind
