Doug Sahm - Can't Go Back To Austin lyrics

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 till 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

Can't 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



Somеday if I ever return
But until thеn my heart will burn
That girl, she opened every door
Now I can't go back to Austin anymore

Can't 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
