[Verse 1]
E
Well I'll tell you folks one thing
A E
And hope you'd understand
B
I've traveled from the far side to the near side of this land
E
And I've seen it all
A E
Roll out from my windshield and then
Said I'm goin' back to Texas
B E
As fast as I can
[Chorus]
A
Some say home is where the heart is
E
It ain't no piece of land
A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E B
Just south of Austin
E
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
A E
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
B E
Before I get to heaven
[Verse 2]
E
Well I've been up around the Great Lakes
A E
And over to New England
Didn't see too many cowboy hats
B
Didn't hear many "Thank you Ma'am's"
E
And I've been up around the Northwest
A E
Where those trees are big and tall
But it always made me so sad
B E
Not to hear the folks say "Y'all"
[Chorus]
A
Some say home is where the heart is
E
It ain't no piece of land
A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E B
Just south of Austin
E
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
A E
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
B E
Before I get to heaven
[Solo]

[Bridge]
A E
Oooo-ee, smell that mesquite my Darlin
A E
Oooo-ee, smell that bar-be-que
A
Those cotton wood trees
E
And those cicadas singin
B
They're all waiting just to greet you
[Verse 3]
E
Well I've even been to Paris
A E
and although it was great
If I'm goin back to Paris
B
it's the one in the Lone Star State
E
'Cause I'd only miss those honkytonks,
A E
Friendly folks and women
Yea I'm going back to Texas
B E
as fast as I can
[Chorus]
A
Some say home is where the heart is
E
It ain't no piece of land
A
I say home is the heart of Texas
E B
Just south of Austin
E
And I'll be drivin' that old wreck
A E
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
B E
Before I get to heaven
E
Texas is the last stop
B A
Before I get to heaven
B (E)
Ahhhh-mennn!
