Well, they’re rompin’ down in Austin 
 And they call it “Western Swing” 
 They even wrote a song that says 
 “Bob Wills is still the king” 
 Well that I can agree with 
 But this much I declare 
 There’s more to country music 
 Than outlaws and Lone Star beer 

 From Tennessee to Texas, 
 They say it’s all the same 
 Well, there’s no “T” in Nashville, 
 But we’ve got our claim to fame 
 It’s called The House That Hank Built 
 And it’s sacred, Lord, I swear 
 There’s more to country music 
 Than outlaws and Lone Star beer 

 Well, there’s more to country music 
 Than the hurtin’ side a’ life 
 Like takin’ pride in fam’ly 
 And a good, warm, lovin’ wife 
 There’s more to country music 
 Than to leave somebody cryin’ 
 And the cheatin’ 
 And the lyin’ 

 Now brothers, understand me 
 I don’t put nobody down 
 ’Cause we all know with what you do 
 Well you’re the best around 
 But as I stand to cheer you 
 I’ll make my feelin’s clear: 
 There’s more to country music 
 Than outlaws and Lone Star beer 
 Yeah, there’s more to country music 
 Than outlaws and Lone Star beer
