Spent some time on the west coast line Trying to make my way Getting tight on money Behind on the bills to pay I wrote about the water I drank my share of wine From Truckee, California to the L.A. County line I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home From the Frio River Down to San Antone I never lose my way No matter where I roam I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home Well I lost my mind, just a keeping time Raising hell with a five- piece band Working for the penny Looking for the promise land Missing that hill country The place that I'll grow old It's good enough for Willie then I say it's good as gold I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home From the Frio River Down to San Antone I never lose my way No matter where I roam I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home From the Frio River Down to San Antone I never lose my way No matter where I roam I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home I'm headed back to Austin I'm headed back home
