| 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 in my arms on a Sunday afternoon
|
| But babe, I’ve gotta heal myself from the things I’ve never felt
|
| Repression is my heaven then 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’ll 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 cold float |
