Keep Your Love Alive
Chilling at the Driskill at the hotel bar
With the businessmen and local beer
Another Monkey Shoulder, doing my part, keeping our fair city weird
I'm buying popcorn at the Alamo when a topless girl goes walking by
I didn't know about the noontime show
And I never stopped to wonder why
And all the hippie chicks down on 6th street sing
Got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Austin sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
Walking into Billy Bob's in pinstripe pants
Holding court with the party crew
They call me city boy but I just dance
Pay attention, learn a thing or two
My little lady goes round, round, round
Two stepping to a steel guitar
She's mesmerized by the sound, sound, sound
Shoulda known that I wouldn't get far
And all the girly girls down from TCU sing
Got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Fort Worth sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
I wasn't planning contingencies for anyone
I'm just waiting for the son to recover
I wasn't building a future or getting things done
I'm just putting one foot in front of the other
You got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for your own damned sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the elevator break you down
All you brothers and sisters
You got to fight for the local sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
You got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Fort Worth sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Now I'm saving my pennies for the end of the week
Cause I'm too hip for the hippies, too chic for the freaks
With the businessmen and local beer
Another Monkey Shoulder, doing my part, keeping our fair city weird
I'm buying popcorn at the Alamo when a topless girl goes walking by
I didn't know about the noontime show
And I never stopped to wonder why
And all the hippie chicks down on 6th street sing
Got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Austin sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
Walking into Billy Bob's in pinstripe pants
Holding court with the party crew
They call me city boy but I just dance
Pay attention, learn a thing or two
My little lady goes round, round, round
Two stepping to a steel guitar
She's mesmerized by the sound, sound, sound
Shoulda known that I wouldn't get far
And all the girly girls down from TCU sing
Got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Fort Worth sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
I wasn't planning contingencies for anyone
I'm just waiting for the son to recover
I wasn't building a future or getting things done
I'm just putting one foot in front of the other
You got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for your own damned sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the elevator break you down
All you brothers and sisters
You got to fight for the local sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Don't let the literati break you down
You got to keep your love alive
You got to fight for the Fort Worth sound
Make your little light shine, shine
Now I'm saving my pennies for the end of the week
Cause I'm too hip for the hippies, too chic for the freaks
