Well i was playing a job with the band
And a real pretty girl led me by the hand
And in a flash we were gone
Stayed at a motel til dawn
I knew her old man was bad
He didn't understand the fun we had
I put that guitar player on the floor
Now I can't go back to austin anymore
Cant go back to austin anymore
I don't want to wind up punched out
On texas hardwood floors
That night she held my dreams
She was part of all my schemes
I can't go back to austin anymore
Well i think of that girl now and then
I think about the way things might have been
Overnight texas haunts me in my dreams
That girl was part of all my schemes
Someday if i ever return
But until then my heart will burn
That girl she opened every door
Now i can't go back to austin anymore
Cant go back to austin anymore
I don't want to wind up punched out from texas hardwood floors
That night she held my dreams
She was part of all my schemes
Now i can't go back to austin anymore
