Might Have Been in Austin

There's a girl waiting for me in Austin

She knows I'm coming through today

She's waiting to see if I'll stop by

Waits to see what I have to say

There's a strong wind blowing in Austin

Strange for this time of year

So I wonder if it's not a message of sorts

Something that I should hear

A message I'm supposed to hear

My head says keep on blowing

My heart says you're out of your mind

Enoughs enough you're only just so tough

You need to learn to read the signs

Of a road that's going nowhere

Just leading you around the bend

To where another bend waits again

Just like every other time

Just like every other time

As a poet and a dreamer

Who part-times as a fool

You can't ignore the unexplored

You can't live with what might have been

Well, there's a might have been in Austin

And though it hasn't happened yet

It's more a question of when this time

And less a question if

Yeah, it's less a question if

Those might have beens and those then agains

Can sure push and pull and can tear you

And hinting winds and those hidden bends

Can sure leave your compass a mess

But if the to and fro ever let you go

The shock would surely kill you

So you just move on

Cause it's all you've ever known

There's a might have been in Austin

And though it hasn't happened yet

It's more a question of when this time

And less a question if

It's less a question if

It's less a question if
