lyrics

I remember this town
Before Liberty Lunch closed down
Milkshakes at Mad Dog and Beans
Watch the college girls walkin down 24th Street
Drinkin' beer at Les Amis
Now there's a Starbucks sittin' where it used to be
Oh no, feels like everything's changing now

Never worried about nothin' back then
Never had to sit in no traffic jam
Shootin' pool at the Hole in the Wall
Sunday night Rock and Roll Free For All
Hangin' out in that parking lot
You could spark up a joint
And we never got caught, you know
It feels like everything's changing now

Everything's changing and rearranging
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this is still our town
This is still our town

I saw a bumper sticker said "Keep Austin Weird!"
And everybody's saying the end is near
I need a drink, I need a smoke
I need to take my baby dancing at The Broken Spoke
'Cause this is still our town
This still our town, you know
It feels like everything's changing

Everything's changing and rearranging
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this is still our town
This is still our town
'Cause this is still our town
