Lyrics

Austin (Take Me Back to)
Written & Performed by Banford Steven Hill Copyright 2005 library of Congress Register of Copyrights
Intro
Verse
I thought I needed change so I took a trip to have a look around
At the risk of being foolish I'll tell you exactly what I found
There was a girl that looked like Elvis selling hotdogs in the rain
A clown yelling the world's gonna end telling me I was insane
I don't know about bozo but the hotdog tasted pretty good
Chorus
Take me back to Austin I need a shot of soul
Take me back to Austin Need to fill my/that empty hole
Verse
If you can't get it in New york city then it's not anywhere to be had
I felt a little thirsty so I stopped in a funky place called the Bagdad
Well I'll you I'm not lyin' but I could not believe my eyes
The best lookin' women I ever saw turned out to be a bunch of guys
If you look behind the lip service long enough you'll see the monkey monkey shine
Chorus
Take me back to Austin I need a shot of blues
Take me back to Austin would you like to come there too
Lead
Verse
Well that bit about the girl friends I believe you should do anything you like
And if you ain't hurtin' nobody you should just try to have a good life
But when there's drama everywhere and there's no crisis there at all
You got General's playin' games without a basketball
So what if you're not behind bars aren't we all just doin' time
Chorus
Take me back to Austin I need a shot of blues
Take me back to Austin would you like to come there too
Take me back to Austin Take me back to Austin
Take me Take me Take me back to Austin
I need a shot of soul
Take me Take me Take me back to Austin
Need to fill that empty hole
Take me back to Austin Take me back to Austin
Take me take back to Austin I need a shot of blues
