Austin's heart is pure and true.

From live bands' cheer to city's light,
Austin's charm is pure delight.

Austin's BBQ, so rich and sweet,
I tried to eat, what a treat.
But then I spilled it on my lap,
And laughed so hard, gave a clap.
The pitmasters smiled and gave me more,
In Austin, joy's at the core.
