Little Feat - Texas Rose Cafe Lyrics
Lowell GeorgePicked up on my phone in HoustonEverybody answered, everybody answered but they won't say whyThen this dancer grabbed me down by the bus stopAnd she said I'm takin' you with me to the Texas Rose cafeI got a fast car, it's a jaguar, and I'll get you to the plane on timeDrinkin' Lone Star, play guitar, we'll have a real good timeI said love to be found in Austin,Love to be found in Austin town,I replied that I would try, but you see my time is not my own'Cause when I was just a big time low ball foolMy friend Leroy came to meHe said look out your windowDoes the first man you see look like me?I'm sooooore displeased Since that time I changed my mindAbout the things I'm up toYet the things around me stay just the same'Cause outside my hotel window is a sign that turns from red to greenIt says chop suey and join the U.S. Marines
