[Intro]
D7 G7 D7 A7 D7
[Verse 1]
D
I spent the night with Houston once
D7
But I bet that she forgot
G7
Cause Houston seems to think
D7
That you’re important or you’re not
A7
So I don’t give a damn for Houston
G7 D7
Or her Jr. High School prom dance state of mind
A7
Wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
You can kiss her mouth without kissing her behind
[Verse 2]
D
I dropped a quarter once in Dallas
D7
It went rolling down the bluff
G7
They arrested me for littering
D7
They said I didn’t drop enough
A7
They’ve got the cleanest cells in Texas
G7 D7
Even their jailbirds’ve got no soul
A7
Wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
Where at least when I’m locked up I feel at home
[Verse 3]
D
There’s nothing all that bad
D7
That I could say about San Antone
G7
Except for all its bark
D7
There ain’t much dog meat on that bone
A7
I mean it’s nice enough to visit
G7 D7
It’s nice enough to get back in your car
A7
Wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
I’ll remember Davy Crockett from afar
[Verse 4]
D
There’s snakes out in the desert
D7
There’s fireants in dirt
G7
There’s oilmen in Lubbock
D7
And there’s bankers in Fort Worth
A7
Now I’m scared to leave South Congress
G7
They might kill me, or worse,
D7
They might think that I’m with them
A7
Wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
Where a bum can wear his panties like a man
[Verse 5]
D
They say that it’s god’s country
D7
Then they fill their cups with spit
G7
Well maybe god felt sorry
D7
For the Baptists and the hicks
A7
I don’t give a damn for Texas
G7 D7
And I expect that she don’t give a damn for me
A7
So wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
And adios to Tejasito, we’d secede
A7
Wrap me up in Austin
G7 D7
And adios to Tejasito, we’d secede
[Outro]
