Austin

Where did all my friends go|What happened to my scene|Feels like the Memphis Mafia|Up and left the king||And I've been swimming for redemption|But I'm drowning in bureaucracy|And I can't find exemption|From all the mediocrity||And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me|If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet|I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay|If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away|I swear I'm gonna fade away||I don't mean to bitch and judge|But baby I gotta go|Where they still play Merle Haggard|And the girls love to rock and roll|And I've been looking for perspective|Between the highway signs|But all roads lead to Texas|Ya'll look me up some time||And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me|If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet|I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay|If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away|I swear I'm gonna fade away
