Story Behind The Song

same as above

Song Description

My buddy and I were talking about how better players we probably would be if we had had all that texan influence of a city like austin, with it's rich musical heritage

Lyrics

Well I wish I was born in austin
city with the texas swing
flowing thru they're blood like a texas flood
you can always hear the guitars ring
going to school at antones
and learning that voodoo thing
well I said I wish I was born in austin
city with a texas swing

well maybe something in the water
something in the food they eat
something in the air that dont make it fair
kids play music instead of hide and seek
little steevie ray was only little for awhile
playing his guitar in his texas style

I wish I was born in austin
city with the texas swing

I would of learned at a very young age
how to rock and swing and take it to the stage
play a texas shuffle like the way it should
with the best guitar pickers in the neighbourhood

I wish I was born in austin
city with the texas swing

well I opened the morning paper
much to my surprise I read
some dude talking about a second life
after this one been spent
bought my cowboy hat and boots guitar and rocking chair
just waiting for the lord to relocate me there

I hope I'm reborn in austin
city with the texas swing
