Lyrics

I stopped at a Texaco on my way to Mexico
I met a Harley girl who was itching to cruise
We raced for the border and fell in love sorta
I'm a truckload of dynamite and she's a lighted fuse

Well we moved in together thinking things would just get better
Until the day she told me she was taking a drive
She said, "The country is pretty but I sure like the city"
Then she's nothing but a taillight on I-35

Now I'm lost in Austin hoping to start
Saving this doggone love that fell apart
If we could stay together we'd be off of the charts
And so I'm lost in Austin looking for my heart

As she cranked her motor scooter I blew a kiss to her
I guess I was dreaming she'd be rolling back soon
I should have known better, now it's time to go and get her
My lonely heart is howling at the Texas moon

Swamped in self-pity, I drove into the city
Hoping we'd be loving by the end of the day
Then I turned onto Lavaca and suddenly I got a
Glimpse of her motorcycle racing away

Now I'm lost in Austin hoping to start
Saving this doggone love that fell apart
If we could stay together we'd be off of the charts
And so I'm lost in Austin looking for my heart

I never have seen so many honky tonks
And party people everywhere
This whole town is like one big fiesta
Lord, she could be anywhere

I should have seen it coming with this free-spirit woman
Yeah, I suspect that there's a lesson to learn
Maybe I should think about a whole new agenda
But without her around I don't know which way to turn

Now I'm lost in Austin hoping to start
Saving this doggone love that fell apart
If we could stay together we'd be off of the charts
And so I'm lost in Austin looking for my heart

Now so I'm lost in Austin looking for my heart
Now I'm lost in Austin looking for my lost and lonely heart
