Austin – stripped Lyrics

Advertisement

We had a plan
Move out of this town baby
West to the sand We had a
Itโ€™s all we talked about lately
Iโ€™d pack the car, bring your guitar and Jane for smoking
First thing at dawn youโ€™d cue the songs and weโ€™d get going

But you werenโ€™t home
Waited on the porch for ya
Sat there alone
All throughout the morn till I
Got a hunch, down in my gut
And snuck around the back
Empty cans and Iโ€™ll be damned
Your shit was never packed

Did your boots stop workin?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through the money?
Did your ex find out?
Where thereโ€™s a will then thereโ€™s a way and Iโ€™m damn sure you lost it
Didnโ€™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 ya?
Whatโ€™s your alibi?
I made my way back to LA, and thatโ€™s where youโ€™ll be forgotten
In 40 years youโ€™ll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin

A hell of bluff
You had me believinโ€™
How many months
Did you plan on leaving
What happened, bad habits
Did you go back,
Go batshit
I loved you, how tragic

Did your boots stop workin?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through the money?
Did your ex find out?
Where thereโ€™s a will then thereโ€™s a way and Iโ€™m damn sure you lost it
Didnโ€™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 ya?
Whatโ€™s your alibi?
I made my way back to LA, and thatโ€™s where youโ€™ll be forgotten
In 40 years youโ€™ll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin
