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'm just a sickness and you seem to be the cure How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June You were napping on my arms, on a Sunday afternoon But, babe, I've gotta 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 Love was 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 that you settled down With a man who doesn't move as quick As the trains rolling through town About time that I face The hard times I've let go Love was just an ocean I would drown before I float

Float Float

There's concrete below me and a sky above so blue People ruin people, I don't wanna ruin you I'm 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 that rolled through town I finally had to face The hard times I've let go If loving you's an ocean I'd have drowned so you could float
