C               F 
From a flower child at old Woodstock 
      C                   G 
To an Austin picker doin' redneck rock 
C                F 
Layin it down to contemporary beat 
      C                         G           C 
While I laid back in Austin and stomp their feet 
 
I got a lone star hat and real short hair 

They don't like me in Nashville but I don't care 

Pickin and a-grinnin' and a- swapping songs 

Just a good old boy tryin to get along 
        C                 F   
There's me and Willie and Jerry Jeff 
         C                   G 
And Mike Murphy, Hubbard and all the rest 
C               F 
Rusty Weir just doin' his thing 
C                         G        C   
C'mon everybody won't you let them sing 
 
Them greasy wheels keep rollin' along 

Till threadgills up their yodeling strong 

Keepin Jimmie Rodgers songs alive 

Hell, ??? like bees to a hive 
 
Chorus 2: 

There's Bill and Bonnie and Asleep at the whell 

And Herbert Steiner on the pedal steel 

Townes and ? makin' nightly rounds 

Well look everybody, watch 'em come around 

Steel solo 
 
Now all the other pickers don't you be inflamed 

If you didn't happen to hear your name 

Our DJ friends gotta do their job 

So 2 and one half minutes is all I got 
 
Chorus 1
