Austin

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
