Well I was thumbing through the channels

And I saw a sight to see

A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV

And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing

Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king

Ah - ha



From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall

Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball

And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state

Where the women are so fine and the music is so great

Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger

I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer

Don't call it country unless you can prove it

I want something with a swing to it



Aw yeah...



All together now....



It's a Texas thing, Y'all

So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing

Drive here as quick as you can

I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me

Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like

I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger

I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer

Don't call it country unless you can prove it

I want something with a swing to it



That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco

And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco

Don't call it country unless you can prove it

I want something with a swing to it

Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it

I want something with a swing to it

That's right...
