Where did all my friends go? What happened to my scene?
Feels like the Memphis Mafia Up and left the king
I've been swimming for redemption Drowning in bureaucracy
And 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 gonna be here to stay
Yeah
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
Yeah
Yeah
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 gotta go
Will 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 sometimes
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 gonna be here to stay
Yeah
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
Yeah
I swear I'm gonna fade away I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
Whiskey and women in this town are killing me
If I don't put new boots on, they'll never get on my feet
I've been running with the devil, it's gonna be heavy 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
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
