Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural...

[Hornius Emeritus]

... second home.

Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone,

 

[accuratehorn]

I grew up on music that we called western swing...

 

[LITNIN HORN]

It don't matter who's in Austin, Bob Wills is still the King

 

[Bevo Incognito]

What a song, and what an eternal truth!

Bob Wills is still the King.

 

[LocoGringos]

Here's a song I wrote on a plane between Dallas and Austin. Goin' to El Paso. Whoops.

 

[YeaTexasFight]

'Now here's what gave us the idea to come down here...'

random drunk in the crowd: "It's a good idear!"

 

[RomaVicta]

But when you cross that ol' Red River, hoss, that just don't mean a thing.

 

[Y Sanchez]

Well if you ain't never been there then i guess you ain't been told

That you just can't live in Texas unless you got a lot of soul

One of the better lyrics out there.

I also enjoy:

"When a Texan fancies he'll take his chances chances will be taken that's for sure"

 

[Lat22]

When Godzillatron started blasting out "Texas on a Saturday Night" last season before the Mizzou game, I got goosebumps.

Speaking of Texas honky-tonks, I just put up this photo of the classic honky-tonk known as "The Stampede" on my webpage. It's just north of Big Spring, Texas:

 

[TexasTower]

The Stones covering that song was classic at Zilker.
