              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
