BORN IN AUSTIN

Well I wish I was born in Austin
City with the Texas swing
Flowing thru they're blood like a Texas flood
You can always the guitars ring
Going to school at Antones
And learning that voodoo thing
Well I said I wish I was born in Austin
The city with the Texas swing
Well maybe something in the water
Something in the food they eat
Something in the air that don't make it fair
kids play music instead of hide and seek
Little Steevie Ray was only little for awhile
Playing his guitar in that Texan style
I wish I was born in Austin
The city with the Texas swing

I would of learned at a very young age
How to rock and swing and take it to the stage
Play a Texas shuffle like the way should
With the best guitar pickers in the neighbourhood
I wish I was born in Austin
City with a Texas swing

Well I opened up the morning paper
Much to my surprise I read
Some dude talking bout a second life after this one's been spent
Bought my cowboy hat and boots guitar and rocking chair
Just waiting for the lord to relocate me there
I wish I was reborn in Austin the city with the Texas swing
City with the Texas swing city with the Texas swing
