Texas Rose Cafe Lyrics

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
