Austin

D         C       G
Where did all my friends go
D             C      G
What happened to my scene
D              C       G
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
D      C        G
Up and left the king
              D         C
And I've been swimmin' for 
      G
redemption
        D            C       G
But I'm drownin' in beaurocracy
    D        C       G
And I can't find exemption
     D           C    G
From all this mediocrity, and

[Chorus]
     D           G            C  
The whiskey and women in this 
              G
town are killin' me
   D               Em             
If I don't put new boots on I 
  C              D
won't ever get on my feet
          D       C         G    
I've been runnin' with the devil 
         D         C      Em
and it's gonna be hell to pay

D        C       G
I don't mean to b***h and judge
    D    C       G
But baby I gotta go
           D     C          G
Where they still play Merle Haggard
        D             C           G
And the girls love to rock 'n roll
            D       C      G
And I been lookin' for perspective
D            C       G
Between the highway signs
    D         C        G
But all roads lead to Texas
      D       C      G
Ya'll look me up sometime, 'cause
