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                         G           C 
While I laid back in Austin and 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 
         C                   G 
And Mike Murphy, Hubbard and all the rest 
C               F 
Rusty Weir just doin' his thing 
C                         G        C   
C'mon everybody won't you let them 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
