Austin

Went to Austin, Texas for a day

To everyone I saw, I said your name

The setting sun, the hot wind on my face

Felt like home, an unfamiliar place

We were cowboys in another life

But I am you, your other life is mine

Often when I speak to you, I cry

Never can explain the reason why

Never understood the reason

Late at night there is a fire on

All my life, around it singing songs

When you were far away when I was young

Sitting on the front step on the phone

Look up at the moon, my love

Above me is the very same one

You and I, the same one

The streets of Laredo sing me to sleep at night

Your first baby, did you really cry

Tough and strong but soft around the eyes

I hope I laugh enough to have those lines

I’ll go back to Austin soon, I hope

I’ll see you in the heat and in the smoke

On the road and playing just like you

I’ll bring you back some Texas BBQ
