Asphalt and Concrete

I can stay alive when it gets a little hotter I can survive on just a little water I can be all alone and not feel the slightest bit bothered But this dusty desert girl drifted to the city The bright lights made even the worst sin look pretty I spiraled downward, my mama would say what a pity Well in my defense it was an Austin moonrise And I was left unsupervised I lost myself in the middle of sixth street Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet Whiskey made me opinionated Overserved and overstimulated Neon lights put off a different kind of heat You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete I'm into sunsets and I love the sand I wasn't myself in a disrupted land With buildings and people and too many drinks in my hand So midnight would give me life like the rain There was nothing to celebrate but I had champagne And a man who loved me a little bit less than cocaine Well in my defense it was an Austin moonrise And I was left unsupervised I lost myself in the middle of sixth street Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet Whiskey made me opinionated Overserved and overstimulated Neon lights put off a different kind of heat You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete I lost myself in the middle of sixth street Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet Neon lights put off a different kind of heat You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete
