A Hundred Miles From Austin ©2015 Robert Randall Burke I'm only 'bout a hundred miles from Austin Hopin' she'll be waitin' for me there My V8's makin' wicked time A couple hours and she'll be mine A yellow rose of Texas in her hair. There's sure a lot of pretty girls in Texas They grow 'em very beautiful down there But of all the girls in the Lone Star State Only one makes me palpitate A yellow rose of Texas in her hair. Mile markers flashing by I've got that pedal down Underneath that Texas sky We're gonna paint the town I'm only 'bout a hundred miles from Austin Hopin' she'll be waitin' for me there.
