Drop D Tuning
[Verse]
D G D
There's a Walmart Super Center in the field where I use to bale my daddy's hay
D G D
Where we use to ride our horses now sits a brand new cafe
G Bm A
The old house where my granddad was born was torn down in 1973
G A D
They're makin off with everything that's left, so whats left of Texas for me
[Chorus]
G D
They're taking God's name out of the schools and Robert Earl Keen right off the radio
A D
They're taking John Wayne out of Hollywood, replaced him with some broke back picture show
G
And ol' Waylon would sure be mad as hell if he knew they cuffed ol' Willy for smokin'
D Bm
weed
G A D
Ah they're makin off with everything that's left, so what's left of Texas for me
[Verse]
D G D
Well there use to be some honkey tonk right down there beside that old town square
D G D
That's where I had my first dance as I ran my fingers through her auburn hair
G Bm A
It was torn down to build a dealership some foreign car nobody'd ever seen
G A D
Yeah they're makin off with everything that's left, so whats left of Texas for me
[Chorus] (x2)
G D
They're taking God's name out of the schools and Gary P Nunn right off the radio
A D
They're taking John Wayne out of Hollywood, replaced him with some broke back picture show
G
And ol' Waylon would sure be mad as hell if he knew they cuffed ol' Willy for smokin'
D Bm
weed
G A D Bm
Ah they're makin off with everything that's left, so whats left of Texas for me
G A D
Yeah they're makin off with everything that's left, so whats left of Texas for me
