Austin Pickers
By Gary P. Nunn
C F
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
Chorus:
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
