From Austin

There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue

I’m finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you,

I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure

How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

Remember Northwest Mountains that were snow-capped in June?

You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon

But babe I’ve got to heal myself, from the things I’ve never felt

Repression is my heaven but I’d rather go through hell

It’s about time that I left Austin

About time you settled down

With a man who doesn’t move as quick

As the trains rolling through town

It’s about time that I face

The hard times I’ve let go

If love is just an ocean I would drown before I float

.

Do you remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town

When I gave you all I had but it still let you down

Everyone I’ve ever loved, has either left or died

Wish I was born with concrete shoes but I’m leaving tonight

It’s about time that I left Austin

About time you settled down

With a man who doesn’t move as quick

As the trains rolling through town

It’s about time that I face

The hard times I’ve let go

If love is just an ocean I would drown before I float

Flo—at

..

There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue

People ruin people, I don’t want to ruin you,

I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure

How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

And I’m finally gone from Austin

You finally settled down

With a man who didn’t move as quick

As the trains roll through town

I finally had to face

The hard times I’ve let go

If loving yous an ocean I’d of drowned so you could float
