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
