Back to Austin Songtext

von Jamestown Revival

Spent some time on the west coast line
Trying to make my way
Getting tight on money
Behind on the bills to pay
I wrote about the water
I drank my share of wine
From Truckee, California to the L.A. County line

I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River
Down to San Antone
I never lose my way
No matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home

Well I lost my mind, just a keeping time
Raising hell with a five- piece band
Working for the penny
Looking for the promise land
Missing that hill country
The place that I'll grow old
It's good enough for Willie then I say it's good as gold

I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River
Down to San Antone
I never lose my way
No matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home

I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
From the Frio River
Down to San Antone
I never lose my way
No matter where I roam
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
I'm headed back to Austin
I'm headed back home
