Take Me Back to Austin

I'm not too hard to live with

And most of the time I'm gone

Chasing the horizon

Running off a song

How hard that's left behind me is more than even gold

Going home is never growing old

Headlights found the driveway

And the key caress the door

There she was, emotionless

Empty on the floor

The lonely days and nights I know

Have been more than a few

I asked if there was something I could do

She said, "Take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods"

Darling I've been seeing things, and ain't much looking good

I'm over trying to understand why I'm misunderstood

Take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods

From time to time I'll see a sign, or catch an empty stare

Hear a conversation with someone who isn't there

I'll stand turned all through the night

With me begins to show

I'll ask if there is somewhere we could go

She says, "Take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods"

Darling I've been seeing things, and ain't much looking good

I'm over trying to understand why I'm misunderstood

So take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods

She'll meet me with a suitcase at the door when I get home

Say who she's done been the seining tone

Take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods

Darling I've been seeing things, and ain't much looking good

I'm over trying to understand why I'm misunderstood

So take me back to Austin

I've gone crazy in the woods

Hey, take me back to Austin

'Cause I've gone crazy in the woods
