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
