Austin Lyrics

We had a plan, move out of this town, baby
West to the sand, it's all we talked about lately
I'd pack the car, bring your guitar and jane for smoking
First thing at dawn, you'd cue the songs and we'd get going
But you weren't home, waited on the porch for ya
Sat there alone, all throughout the morning 'til I
Got a hunch down in the gut and snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed

Did your boots stop working?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out?
Where there's a will, then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowing?
Were you in a fight?
Did the nerves come get you?
What's your alibi?
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years you'll still be here
Drunk washed up in Austin

Hell of a bluff, you had me believing
How many months did you plan on leaving?
What happened? Bad habits?
Did you go back? Go batshit?
I loved you, how tragic, oh

Did your boots stop working?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out?
Where there's a will, then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowing?
Were you in a fight?
Did the nerves come get you?
What's your alibi?
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years you'll still be here
Drunk washed up in Austin

Did your truck break down?
Did your ex find out?
