I got sunburned waiting outside Franklin line
Spent forty bucks on tacos and I still feel fine
There’s a guy on Sixth Street
Dressed like Darth Maul
Playing Blink-182 on a ukulele y’all
And everybody swears they’re in a startup band, Drinkin’ Lone Star tall boys by Lady Bird again
It’s 102 in the shade, but we still pretend
“This heat’s not THAT bad”
to all our outta-town friends
And every night feels like a movie scene
With dive bar queens and busted skinny jeans
Hey! Keep Austin loud tonight
Play that pop punk dynamite
We’ll scream those songs ‘til sunrise hits the sky, From Riverside to I-35
And everybody’s chasing dreams
With tattoo sleeves and trampoline schemes
Yeah life gets weird but that’s alright
Cause Austin, Texas saved my life
Met a girl at Barton Springs at half past two
She said “I moved here last week,
now I do tattoos”
She drives a vintage Jeep that barely starts
But somehow still has
“Keep Austin Weird” on every part
ACL weekends and east side bars
Food truck dates underneath the stars
And every dude with an acoustic guitar
Still thinks he’s gonna be the next big star
And somehow every heartbreak feels okay
When there’s queso and live music every day
Hey! Keep Austin loud tonight
Play that pop punk dynamite
We’ll scream those songs ‘til sunrise hits the sky, From Riverside to I-35
And everybody’s chasing dreams
With rooftop bars and nicotine
Yeah life gets weird but that’s alright
Cause Austin, Texas saved my life
Long live the late nights
Long live the neon signs
Long live the girls in Docs
And the punk rock dive bar lights
Long live the mornings
Hungover eating breakfast tacos
Thinking maybe this town’s
Exactly where we belong
Hey! Keep Austin loud tonight
Turn the speakers up all night
We’ll sing these songs with strangers side by side, Like it’s 2005
And everybody’s still eighteen
At Mohawk bars and house party scenes
Yeah life gets weird but that’s alright
Cause Austin, Texas feels alive
