[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]
G
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 6]
G
I made my music from coast to coast
C/G
Been over the water,couldn't get no hotter then i dang near froze
G
Remember the Alamo
[Verse 7]
G
The road was long but the heart is strong
C/G
I was Texas born and raised and Texas is still my home
G
Texas is home sweet home
[Bridge](Billy Joe,Waylon)
D
Where my songs are always playing
C/G G
And them good ol' Texas gals say honey "now where ya been?"
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]
G
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
