Texas Rose Cafe Lyrics

-- 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
