  			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
