verse 1 
C                  A7   D7 
I'm sitting with a map  laid out on my lap 
            G7                               C 
Now there's not too many places that I ain't been 
                         A7    D7 
But the one place I love best  is spread all over the west 
        G7                                    C 
And I'm trying to figure how to get back home again 


[Refrão]
                           A7             D7 
I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas 
G7                                        C 
Right in the heart of where my heart must be 
                         A7                     D7 
But where I roam I never feel at home except in Texas 
F              G7                          C 
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me 

verse 2 
                        A7 
Now I don't know what I miss the most 
    D7 
The hills out west or the southern coast 
   G7                            C 
Or being where a man can see for miles and miles 
                             A7 
Those east Texas rivers with tall pine trees 
       D7 
Or the great state plains with prairie breeze 
    G7                               C 
But baby I'm lonesome to see a Texas smile

I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas 
G7                                        C 
Right in the heart of where my heart must be

Under the X in Texas is the only place for me 

Outro
                        A7 
Now I ain’t got nothing against the rest 
    D7 
But why settle for less when you know what’s best 
F              G7                          C 
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
