Bb F C F
There wouldn’t be no Alamo,
Bb F C F
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
Bb C Dm
No Lonesome Dove, no Yellow Rose
F
If it wasn’t for Texas
Bb F C F
I wouldn’t be a Willie fan,
Bb F C F
No body swam the Rio Grand
Bb C Dm
I wouldn’t be an American,
F
If it wasn’t for Texas
Chorus:
C Bb F
Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,
C Bb F
There’d be no Austin City Limits sign
Bb F C
No lone star of any kind,
F
If it wasn’t for Texas

Bb F C F
I’d never gone to Tennessee,
Bb F C F
To sing my songs and chase my dreams
Bb F C Dm
Only heaven knows just where I’d be,
F
If it wasn’t for Texas
Repeat Chorus:
C Bb F
Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,
C Bb F
There’d be no Austin City Limits sign
Bb F C
No lone star of any kind,
F
If it wasn’t for Texas
Bb F C F
It made me the man I am,
Bb F C F
Thank God for my ole’ stomping ground
Bb C Dm
Wouldn’t be standing right here, right now
F
If it wasn’t for Texas,
Dm
If it wasn’t for Texas,
Bb
If it wasn’t for Texas
