Billy Joe Shaver - Heart Of Texas Lyrics
Verse 1:The heart of Texas is where i was bornBy twist of fate the lonestar state's where i'm coming from God almighty's been good to meVerse 2:Where i grow'd up learning about the AlamoWith a swelling pride down deep inside me saying go man goYou can be all you want to beYeah it's right there where the best isSmack dab in the heart of Texas,thank you MamVerse 3:Papa run off before i was bornMama picked cotton just to raise us kids in the Texas sunWe grew up in the cotton fieldsVerse 4:(Waylon,Billy Joe)So i learned how to work and i learned how to fightI learned how to put a bunch of words together as the years rolled byGod gave me a way to goVerse 5:(Waylon,Billy Joe)When my sweetheart listened to the songs i playedShe said i love you honey,but there ain't much money in a serenadeI need a man with a real jobBridge:(Waylon,Billy Joe)Now she's back there where i left herGod knows i still think about her now and thenBut she knows these clothes i'm wearin'Is the kind that shirt tails always flappin' in the windVerse 6:I made my music from coast to coastBeen over the water,couldn't get no hotter then i dang near frozeRemember the AlamoVerse 7:The road was long but the heart is strongI was Texas born and raised and Texas is still my homeTexas is home sweet homeBridge2:(Billy Joe,Waylon)Where my songs are always playingAnd them good ol' Texas gals say honey "now where ya been?"
