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
