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
