Tom: C
C G
For you, I’d give up all my time
C F
Searching for the perfect rhyme
C G G7
And this is one that certainly perplexes
C G
For you, I would spend all my days
C F
Thinking up all the crazy ways
C (F) G (F) C
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Verse 2]
C G
You got Bellaire class and Dallas style
C F
Austin soul and a Luckenbach smile
C G G7
For you I’d trade my truck in for a Lexus
C G
You smell as sweet as the piney woods
C F
I’d marry you if I thought I could
C (F) G (F) C C7
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Chorus]
F
You’re the barb on my wire
C
The spark in my campfire
G G7
There’s no brighter star in all the multiplexes
C G
I love this state, you know I do
C F
But the best thing in this state is you
C (F) G (F) C
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
C G
Your wit’s as sharp as a prickly pear
C F
The sun shines in your golden hair
C G G7
Your smile hits me right in the solar plexus
C G
Skin as soft as early morning rain
C F
Temper like a gulf coast hurricane
C (F) G (F) C
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Verse 4]
C G
From the Mucky Duck to the Broken Spoke
C F
You know this state like an old cowpoke
C G G7
You know where all the tastiest Tex-Mex is
C G
You got Mattson on the radio
C F
Playing Robert Earl and Billy Joe
C (F) G (F) C C7
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Chorus]
F
You’re the barb on my wire
C
The spark in my campfire
G G7
Let’s head out west where nobody can text us
C G
I promise you I’ll never cheat
C F
Or you can throw me out in the old mesquite
C (F) G (F) C
I love you even more than I love Texas
[Outro]
C G
And if you make me leave this state
C F
I’ll curse but I won’t hesitate
C G C
‘Cause I love you even more than I love Texas
