i have a tune running through my head that i can't shake -- like so many other songs, i've got the chorus imbedded and have lost the verse -- chorus goes like this

i've been lost in austin
juiced in houston
don't remember dallas
but dallas won't be soon forgetting me
i've been up in fort worth
down in brownsville
way out in el paso
so it's T for Texas
and J&B for me!

anybody got a title, artist, or link?

Default Lost in Austin

Roy
I wrote this song with Charlie Williams in 1976, after carrying around the first couple of lines for two or three years. Tonight I was idly playing on the computer and Googled "Lost in Austin".
I was completely flummoxed by the number of times the phrase has come up in pop usage, not to mention the number of times it's been used (since me and Charlie) for songs. Must be at least a dozen Lost in Austins out there. Not to mention the reality show or whatever it is.
I was gratified to come across your two-year-old post in re the song, and wanted to personally thank you for liking it. Or maybe it was just annoying you to death. I always like to say if I can just reach one person out there then I'm a success.
Anyway, thanks
Panama Red

Huh! All these years, I thought that Bobby Bare wrote that song. I think Jerry Jeff Walker does that song too, I'm pretty sure. My exhusband use to like another song that Bobby Bare did, called "Making Rosie Proud of Me," about a washed up old rodeo rider. I never heard of you, Panama Red; however, I have heard the song, "Panama Red," done by Peter Rowen. I'm sorry I never heard of you; but, I'm glad to know of you. "Lost in Austin" is a good old song; although, many of us hung up are bottles of J & B for iced tea.
