Picked up on my phone in Houston Everybody answered, everybody answered but they won't say why Then this dancer grabbed me down by the bus stop And she said I'm takin' you with me to the Texas Rose cafe I got a fast car, it's a jaguar, and I'll get you to the plane on time Drinkin' Lone Star, play guitar, we'll have a real good time I said love to be found in Austin, Love to be found in Austin town, I replied that I would try, but you see my time is not my own 'Cause when I was just a big time low ball fool My friend Leroy came to me He said look out your window Does the first man you see look like me? I'm sooooore displeased Since that time I changed my mind About the things I'm up to Yet the things around me stay just the same 'Cause outside my hotel window is a sign that turns from red to green It says chop suey and join the U.S. Marines
