Austin Pickers

C               F
From a flower child at old Woodstock
      C                   G
To an Austin picker doin' redneck 
rock
C                F
Layin it down to contemporary beat
      C                        
While I laid back in Austin and 
 G           C
stomp their feet


I got a lone star hat and real short
 hair
They don't like me in Nashville but 
I don't care
Pickin and a-grinnin' and a- 
swapping songs
Just a good old boy tryin to get 
along
        C                 F
There's me and Willie and Jerry Jeff
Continues after the ad
         C                   G
And Mike Murphy, Hubbard and all the
 rest
C               F
Rusty Weir just doin' his thing
C                         G       
C'mon everybody won't you let them 
 C
sing


Them greasy wheels keep rollin' 
along
Till threadgills up their yodeling 
strong
Keepin Jimmie Rodgers songs alive
Hell, ??? like bees to a hive

Chorus 2:
There's Bill and Bonnie and Asleep 
at the whell
And Herbert Steiner on the pedal 
steel
Townes and ? makin' nightly rounds
Well look everybody, watch 'em come 
around

Steel solo

Now all the other pickers don't you 
be inflamed
If you didn't happen to hear your 
name
Our DJ friends gotta do their job
So 2 and one half minutes is all I 
got

Chorus 1
