D                                      
Well I was thumbing through the channels 
      G              
And I saw a sight to see 
     D                       
A so called country singer 
      A          
There singing on MTV 
         D          
Then I began to think 
        G              
Had she ever heard of Hank 
        D                        A                    D  
Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king 
 

D                    
From the Houston rodeo 
      G            
To any old dancehall 
D                          
All the cowboys and cowgirls 
      A             
Know how to have a ball 
      D                      
And every night they tip a toast 
      G            
To the Lonestar State 
      D                        A                D  
Where the women are so fine and the music is so great 
      G                        D        
Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger 
      G                        A       
Don’t wanna see no wannabe country western singer 
      G      G7      D            B7    
Don’t call it country unless you can prove it 
D      A            G       D 
I want something with a swing to it  
D                             
Well it’s a Texas thing y’all 
      G                
So if you don’t understand 
      D                 
Just drop what you’re doing 
            A           
Get here as quick as you can 
D                       
I’d even stop in Oklahoma 
G                 
If it was up to me 
D                                    A      D  
Cause when it comes to country there ain’t none like Gary P. 
 
(Chorus) 
G                                      D   
That hip-hop rap and boy-band crap is for the squirrels in  
 
San Francisco 
G                                    A            
Yeah Nashville’s making music that sounds like a dadgum  
 
disco 
      G      G7      D            B7    
Don’t call it country unless you can prove it 
D      A            G       D 
I want something with a swing to it
