Texas Rose Cafe - Lowell George
Picked up on my phone in Houston
Everybody answered, everybody
answered but they won't say why
Then this dancer grabbed me
down by the bus stop
And she said I'm takin' you
with me to the Texas Rose cafe
I got a fast car, it's a jaguar,
and I'll get you to the plane on time
Drinkin' Lone Star, play guitar,
we'll have a real good time
I 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 fool
My friend Leroy came to me
He said look out your window
Does the first man you see
look like me?
I'm sooooore displeased
Since that time I changed my
mind
About the things I'm up to
Yet the things around me stay
just the same
'Cause outside my hotel window
is a sign that turns from red to green
It says chop suey and join
the U.S. Marines
