[Intro]

| C | Am | F | G |
[Verse 1]
C Am
Eight months offshore on a platform rig,
Fmaj7 G6
seasick and homesick and sick of the gig.
C Am
Hop in the chopper, it has come to take
F G
me back to the mainland, I'll go straight to the lake.
C Am
Lone Star in the cooler, answer the riddle,
Fmaj7 G
go grab a guitar, pick up a fiddle.
C Am
Play all night 'til ya just can't sing
F G
all the Charlie and Bruce, the Lyle and Keen.
[Chorus]
C Am
I'm Texas born, Texas bred,
F G
when I die, I'll be Texas dead.
C Am
Lay me down in the ground, put my name on a stone,
F G G
to Hell with Heaven, I'm stayin' home.
[Verse 2]
C Am
Two-a-days in the summer they tested my will,
Fmaj7 G
tore up my knee, Oklahoma drill.
C Am
For the love the game, for the love of the lights,
Fmaj7 G
we were all livin' for Friday nights.
C Am
Ben went off to Bama, Van's a volunteer,
F G
Chance is up in Kansas, man, I stayed right here.
[Chorus]
C Am
I'm Texas born, Texas bred,
F G
when I die, I'll be Texas dead.
C Am
Lay me down in the ground, put my name on a stone,
F G G
to Hell with Heaven, I'm stayin' home.
[Interlude]
| C | Am | F | F |
[Verse 3]
C Am
Great Grandad's great depression didn't last that long
F G
when the cain dried up and the cotton was gone.
C Am
He dug down below ground, he broke the bedrock apart,
F G
said sometimes: you gotta look down deep in the heart.
[End-Chorus]
C Am
I'm Texas born, Texas bred,
F G
when I die, I'll be Texas dead.
C Am
Lay me down in the ground, put my name on a stone,
F G G
to Hell with Heaven, I'm stayin' home.
