Lyrics

?Lost in Austin?
by Richard Leiter & Jim Lum

VERSE
Well I made the scene down in New Orleans
I blew the Memphis crowds away
Told Nashville lies with the studio guys
And man those cats can play

I've done malls and balls and honkytonk halls
The Opry's always fun
But when that final curtain falls
Better paint this cowboy gone
Cause I'd rather be

CHORUS
Lost in Austin
Than found in anywhere else
I wanna shake my bones
In old Antones
Jammin' on 6th Street
Rockin' to the big beat
It's exhaustin'
To be away from all of your pals
I'd rather be Lost in Austin
Than found in anywhere else

VERSE
I've paid my dues and played my blues
From Bangkok to Bombay
There ain't no Tokyo cowpoke club
This good old boy ain't played

I been flown and blown from Rome to Barcelona
When London calls I go
Towns big and small I love you all
But bottom line I know
That I'd rather be

CHORUS
Lost in Austin...

VERSE
There's a girl named Pam in Birmingham
And Mississippi Sue
My sweet Doreen's in Abilene
In Tulsa I got two

A man gets lonely on the road
Of ladies there's no lack
But those Lone Star magic mojo mamas
Keep me comin' back
And I'd rather be

CHORUS
Lost in Austin
Than found in anywhere else
I wanna shake my bones
In old Antones
Jammin' on 6th Street
Rockin' to the big beat
It's exhaustin'
To be away from all of your pals
I'd rather be

Goin' for broke at the Broken Spoke
Shoopin' the shoop on Guadeloupe
Havin' some chili and playin' with Willy
Maybe you do not agree
But for me I'd rather be
Lost in Austin
Than found in anywhere else
