Lyrics

The Driskill is a hotel that lives down in Austin
As grand as they come, she’s a shiny old star
She was built twenty years after Lincoln saved the union
A symbol of Texas coming back from the war

Getting drunk at the Driskill, whiskey sours
perfectly tart
With the ghosts of a million old cowboys and oilmen
And John Wayne and Amelia Earhart
The girl in the calico dress dances slowly
Down the stairway she twirls, like she’s living
Today
Let’s all get drunk at the Driskill for Texas
Or let’s just get drunk anyway

They say Lyndon and Lady Bird met here for breakfast
And they fell in love on their very first date
Satchmo’s in the atrium, blowing his trumpet
For a room with a view and a dollar a day

(Chorus).
