Austin

This ivy-league atmosphere Has gotten to my soul I need to be where I can hear Some blues and rock and roll In a place where life ain't something Just to get lost in That's why I'm leaving Boston Heading back home to Austin Where the girls and drinks Go hand and hand And you don't have to think You just understand That it's all worth Whatever it's costing I'm leaving Boston Heading back home to Austin I came here for what I'd find In books and lecture hall But everyday I fall behind And there's not much I recall Except that bass and lead Down on Sixth Street I once heard so often That's why I'm leaving Boston And heading back home to Austin Where the girls and drinks Go hand and hand And you don't have to think You just understand That it's all worth Whatever it's costing I'm leaving Boston Heading back home to Austin And I may be crazy For throwing it all away It ain't my scene, it ain't my dream And there's not much more to say So call the boys and tell 'em to Practice all their songs We'll make some noise and music, too And rock out all night long There's always better tomorrows To wake up in That's why I'm leaving Boston Heading back home to Austin. Where the girls and drinks Go hand and hand And you don't have to think You just understand That it's all worth Whatever it's costing I'm leaving Boston Heading back home to Austin #### “Austin” Words and Music © MMVI by Nguyen/Melville Available on the album, Austin, by Banded
