Austin (Boots stop workin')

We had a plan, move out of this town, baby

West to the sand, it's all we talked about lately

I'd pack the car, bring your guitar and Jane for smokin'

First thing at dawn, you'd cue the songs and we'd get goin'

But you weren't home, waited on the porch for ya

Sat there alone, all throughout the morn 'til I

Got a hunch down in the gut and snuck around the back

Empty cans, and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed

Did your boots stop workin'?

Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)

Did you burn through money?

Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)

Where there's a will, then there's a way

And I'm damn sure you lost it

Didn't even say goodbye

Just wish I knew what caused it

Was the whiskey flowin'?

Were you in a fight? (In a fight)

Did the nerves come get you?

What's your alibi? (Alibi)

I made my way back to LA

And that's where you'll be forgotten

In 40 years you'll still be here

Drunk, washed up in Austin

A hell of a bluff, you had me believin'

How many months did you plan on leavin'?

What happened? Bad habits? Did you go back? Go batshit?

I loved you, how tragic, oh-oh

Did your boots stop workin'?

Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)

Did you burn through money?

Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)

Where there's a will, then there's a way

And I'm damn sure you lost it

Didn't even say goodbye

Just wish I knew what caused it

Was the whiskey flowin'?

Were you in a fight? (In a fight)

Did the nerves come get you?

What's your alibi? (Alibi)

I made my way back to LA

And that's where you'll be forgotten

In 40 years you'll still be here

Drunk, washed up in Austin

Did your truck break down?

Did your ex find out?"
