Austin Songtext
von Pat Green

Where did all my friends go?
What happened to my scene?
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
Up and left the king

Well, I′ve been swimming for redemption
But I'm drowning in bureaucracy
I can′t find exemption
From all this mediocrity

And the whiskey and the women in this town are killing me
If I don't put new boots on, I'll never get on my feet
I′ve been running with the devil
And it′s going to 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′m gonna fade away (gonna fade away)
I swear I'm gonna fade away


Now I don′t mean to bitch and judge
But baby, I got to 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
Y'all look me up sometime

And the whiskey and the women in this town are killing me
If I don′t put new boots on, I′ll never get on my feet
I've been running with the devil
And it′s going to 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′m gonna fade away (gonna fade away)
I swear I'm gonna fade away


And the whiskey and the women in this town are killing me
If I don't put new boots on, I′ll never get on my feet
I′ve been running with the devil
And it's going to 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'm gonna fade away (gonna fade away)
I swear I′m gonna fade away

I'm gonna fade away (gonna fade away)
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I′m gonna fade away (gonna fade away)
I swear I′m gonna fade away
