Picked up on the phone in Houston
Everybody answered
Everybody answered but they
Won't say why
Then this dancer grabbed me
Down by the bus stop
She said I'm
I'm taking you with me
To the Texas Rose Cafe
I have a fast car
It's a tank of wine
I'll get you to the plane on time
Drinking Lone Star
Bringing guitar
Oh, we'll have a real good time
I said love
Love to be found in Austin
I said love
Love to be found in Austin town
I've been planning I would try
But you see my time is not my own
Not my own, no
God, well I
I want just a big time
Shotgun
No more, no more
My friend Leroy Kennedy said
Look out the window
The first man you see
Looked just like me
So, wow, wow
So, just me
So, just me
So, just me
guitar solo
Since that time I changed my mind
About the things I'm up to
Yet the things around me
They stay just the same
Cause outside my hotel window
Is the same that turns red to green
Says chop suey
And join the U.S. Marines
