Austin
Georgia Harmer
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
