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, 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 'bout time that I left Austin 'Bout time you settled down With a man who doesn't move as quick As the trains rolling through town 'Bout time that I faced The hard times I'd let go If love was just an ocean I'll drown before I float
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 ever loved has either left or died Wish I was born with concrete shoes but I'm leaving tonight
It's 'bout time that I left Austin 'Bout time you settled down With a man who doesn't move as quick As the trains rolling through town 'Bout time that I faced The hard times I'd let go If 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 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 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
