Lyrics
Once upon a few years ago
There was a utopia so free
Full of rednecks, kids and hippies
And a university
But, lately somethings happened
And the place has changed you see
It's been overrun by computer nerds
And L.A. wanabees
I still love my AUSTIN but, she ain't what she used to be
She's got so many suitors she could become a big hussie
Her reputation might have hurt her cause' free love can get pricey
I still love my AUSTIN but, she ain't what she used to be
Well they come from far away
To the greatest place they've heard
But, the problem is they can't give up
That way of life they've learned
See there's something their not bringing
Unknown to most yankees
You can't get it from the internet
It's TEXAS courtesy
Well her roads were graced with pickup trucks
V.W.'s and Harley's
But, now it's an image contest
Made of Lexus SUV's
Well it used to be let's roll on down to Dry Creek for a beer
But, now it's no time babe I've got to run
Perhaps a non-fat latte dear
I still love my AUSTIN but, she ain't what she used to be
Together we could save her but, it's up to you and me
Well I know we got the patience and the ingenuity
To start education programs like adopt a green yankee
We can demonstrate the suttle ways of how not to use your horn
The thank you wave
The hello nod
And holding out the door
Share the legends of the Dillo
Frisco and the Tumbleweed
The Americana Theatre and O'Henry's Back Forty
I still love my AUSTIN but, she ain't what she used to be
Together we could save her but, it's up to you and me
With our Native Texan knowhow we have the technology
To make a decent Austinite out of any computer geek
Yeah keep your Silicon Valley we'll take our Hill Country
