Austin

I was born in austin
On a summer day
But medicine from Georgetown
Made me strong, on my way
I would go to the Jade Room
On a truesday eve
I was only fourteen
Kept my age up my sleeve
Everyday we would celebrate
And play some music with friends
Looking through such a different sky
Way back then
Oh we made some magic
Through the night till noon
We could tell it was happening
From the smoke in the room
All those days out by the lake
Wind streaming through you hair
Had no reason to complicate
Not a care
See the town expand now
Nothing stays the same
Watershed recedes now
Who's in charge? Who's to blame?
