I am 85, born in Oklahoma and grew up 8 miles into Arkansas listening to Bob Wills on KVOO Tulsa...

Love Asleep at the Wheel! Thank you for keeping Western Swing music alive! God bless Texas!

My parents danced to Bob Wills and the Playboys many times. Thanks Ray for keeping this music alive.

Ray is one the best and I'm so glad he is keeping Bob Wills alive and well.

Kipping Uncle Bob Alive loved Ray ever sense i heard of him about 1993. I was in Germany in 1971 playing Bob Wills music in our US Army barrack half of them I hate the other half going I love it. Most of them had never heard anything like this before. Love Ray Benson for what he stands for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob would be proud. Asleep At The Wheel - since 1970.

Great version of the Bob Wills classic. Really enjoy listening to 'Asleep at the Wheel', top band.

Love Asleep at the Wheel

I was privileged enough to be in a supper club in Santa Ana California in 1983 or '84 and Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel were playing! Been a fan ever since!

I’ve loved San Antonio Rose since I was a Freshman in college. In Winter of 1994 I learned about this wonderful song from Music in Society. Ever since then, I got hooked on this song.

so good to hear some classic country brought back.good job asleep at the wheel!!!

Nice fiddle playing and tight band-always with that great swing beat that keeps it moving!

Oh this song brings back memories.. Love ya' dad.

Now that's western swing::!!

My favorite country music is bluegrass, western swing and yodel cowboy music.

Very smooth fiddle bowing. Long bowing.

Best Band in Tx BRAVO!!

Loved this. Wish I could have been there to hear it in person!

An old Wyoming cowboy really loves your music.

Great rendition

Finally i found this song. I love it.

One of my all time favorites.

Saw Asleep at the Wheel at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa several times. Awesome experience

Hey guys! Bring the Wheel back to Towanda PA again! We'll give you a great welcome! Better than the last time!

Have loved this song for 60 plus years.

SOOOO LOVE THIS!!!!!!

I wish I could see Y'all in person; such a great sound and gig. I can't find a single song I wouldn't look forward to hearing.

Can't beat that Texas swing!

These guys are great.

Lyrics: Deep within my heart lies a melody A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue up above A moonlit pass that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor know only my heart Call back my rose, rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart Speak once again of my love, my own. Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone Deep within my heart lies a melody, A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue up above A moonlit pass that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor know only my heart Call back my rose, rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart Speak once again of my love, my own. Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

A masterpiece.

Bob Wills will surely be proud of your interpretation 💚👍👏💪 Appreciated the Jason's performance !

Thank you for the lyrics Mr. Decastro; been singing this song to myself for over 85 years and never new all the words; excuse me for misspelling your name, and for that I apologize!

Wish I could find this version as a ringtone

I started my career in the Air Force, on 1 Feb 1968 Lackland AFB, San Antonio.

😂❤LOVE IT

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen laid the path for these guys to succeed. If you haven’t listened to the album “We’ve Got A Live One Here” you’re missing out.

Saw Ray at the bay front plaza in corpus Christi in 91 I. Me an Freddy fender were there played to open the show

Great music

I'm from Cowtown (Ft Worth) 189 miles N of Austin. Ray you da man And you can quote me.

Saw them at Minnestota State fair couldn't believe my luck because i didn't know they would be there.Went and talked to them after the show and got Ray to sighn my bumper sticker which i dearly treasured does anyone else have a bumper sticker that says asleep at the wheel.

I think Bob would love them just as much as I do.

The long and short of it was that his bowing is good.

Read the comment below I thought maybe II wrote it .
