Austin

Went to Austin Texas for a day

To everyone I saw I said your name

The settin' 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 singin' songs

When you were far away when I was young

Sittin' 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 playin' just like you

I'll bring you back some Texas BBQ
