[Verse]
D
It started in the back of my daddy's ol' car
E
I was born beneath that old lone star
A
I hit the ground pickin' this old guitar
D A
I was made in Texas
D
Like Bob Wills sawing on San Antone Rose
E7
Dance hall rhythm's all in my soul
A
Tell everybody everywhere I go
D
That I was made in Texas
[Chorus]
E
In Lone Star beer and Stetson hats
A
And in Ernest Tubb we trust
E
You can always tell a Texan
A N.C.
Oh, but you can't tell him much
D
It's the biggest little place in the USA
E7
Everybody knows I'm here to stay
A
It's home sweet home, and I'm proud to say that
D A
I was made in Texas
