Where did all my friends go
What happened to my scene
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
Up and left the king
And I’ve been swimmin’ for redemption
But I’m drownin’ in beaurocracy
And I can’t find exemption
CHORUS:
The whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and it’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade awayyy-ayyyy-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away
Gonna fade awayyyy-yeah-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away, oh now I
I don’t mean to bh and judge
But baby I gotta go
Where they still play Merle Haggard
And the girls love to rock ‘n roll
And I been lookin’ for perspective
Between the highway signs
But all roads lead to Texas
Ya’ll look me up sometime, ’cause
CHORUS:
The whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and there’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade away
Gone fade away-ayy-yeah
I swear I’m gonna fade away
SOLO
CHORUS:
Yeah the whiskey and women in this town are killin’ me
If I don’t put new boots on I won’t ever get on my feet
I’ve been runnin’ with the devil and it’s gonna be hell to pay
If I don’t get to Austin I swear I’m gonna fade away
