(1st VERSE)

There’s a town way down in Texas
where folks don’t go to sleep
They can party till the cows come home
and still be on their feet
You can hear their fiddles playing
in them all-night honky-tonks
While the rest of Texas sleeps till dawn,
in Austin they party on.
(CHORUS)

WHILE TEXAS SLEEPS
AUSTIN’S RUNNIN’ WILD
Drinking Pearl beer with a big ole Texas smile
Playing swing music in that Bob Will Style
WHILE TEXAS SLEEPS
AUSTIN’S RUNNIN’ WILD

(2nd VERSE)

Even coyotes can’t outlast them,
all night they hoot and yell
You can hear them clear to Houston
and half way to Hell
With a bottle and a darlin’
they greet the mornin’ sun
While the rest of Texas sleeps till dawn
in Austin they’re havin’ fun

(CHORUS)

WHILE TEXAS SLEEPS
AUSTIN’S RUNNIN’ WILD
Drinking Pearl beer with a big ole Texas smile
Playing swing music in that Bob Will Style
WHILE TEXAS SLEEPS
AUSTIN’S RUNNIN’ WILD
