THE TEXAS TROUBADOUR
(Porter Wagoner)

Ernest Tubb – 1973


The New York City folks say I'm too country 
The Grenache Village hippies all call me square
But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas
They call me the Texas Troubadour there

My home state of Texas you've been good to me 
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air

Ah Buddy
INSTRUMENTALS – Steel guitar

The New York City sidewalks filled with people 
Too busy to say hello to you there
With hearts as cold as the concrete that they walk on
They sure could use some clean fresh Texas air

Now Texas folks don't judge you till they know you
And they don't judge you then by what you wear
And you can feel at home anyplace in Texas
If you don't own a thing or if you're a millionaire

Now My home state of Texas you've been good to me 
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air
