Well I spent some time on the west coast line
Trying to make my way
Getting tired on money, behind on the bills to pay
Wrote about the water, drank my share of wine
Truckee, California, to the LA county line


I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River, down to San Antone
I never lose my way, no matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home


Well I lost my mind just keepin' time
Raising hell with a 5 piece band
Working for a penny
Looking for the promised land
Missin' that hill country, the place that i'll grow old
If it's good enough for Willie, then I say its good as gold


I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River, down to San Antone
I never lose my way, no matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River, down to San Antone
I never lose my way, no matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
