I Can't Go Back to Austin Songtext
von Doug Sahm

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
