[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]She could dance that slow,
you'd vow to [G]shuffle to some cowboy hustle
[D]How she makes their trophy [G]buckle shine,
[A]shine, shine
[D]Wild -eyed and
Mexican silver [G]-trickin'
dumb old cousin
Willard
[D]Into thinkin' that he's
got her [A]here this [D]time
[G]Hill country, punk -a -talkin' breed of blue
[D]Every bit of shortin' time has played
the fool [A]for [G]you
Backslidin',
barrel -ridin' breed of [D]blue
And a cowboy in
Texas would not [A]ride a bull for [D]you
She's a rawhide rope
and velvet mixture
[G]Walkin' talkin'
Texas texture
[D]High time and barroom
fixture [A]kind of [Am]girl[A]
[G]She[D]'s the queen of the cowboys
[G]Look at old
Willard grinnin' now, boys
[D]You'd have thought there's
less fools [A]in this [D]world
[G]Hill country,
honky -tonk and marina [D]blue
Every big joint in town has
played it cool for [A]you
[G]A backsliding bell right in
the middle of [D]the blue
Ain't a cowboy in
Texas would not [A]ride a bull for [D]you[G][D][A][D]
So [G]good luck
Willie, yes to you
And [Bm]here's to
Rita, and I hope she'll do you [A]right
All night, but I wish I was
the fool in your [D]shoes
[G]Hill country and honky -tonkin'
Rita
Bal[D]lou
Every bit of joy and pride
has played a fool for [A]you
[G]A backsliding, bow -riding,
sleigh -dove -a [D]-loo
Ain't a cowboy in
Texas would not [A]ride a bull
for [D]you[Bm][G][D]
[A]
[G]Sleigh -dove
