Austin

It started in Philly

With a girl who used to tell me

All the things she thought that I could be

Well, I took her words for granted

When she ran off in a panic

Chasing after what she saw in me

I'm headed down to Austin where the sky above ain't falling

Cause everyone I know knows someone just like me

When I finally get to Jordan

With that red river flowing

And a sign saying 1,000 miles until you finally are free

New England in the winter

Ran into a stranger

Turned out to be someone I always knew

Ya, there's something in a sunrise

That brings out the inside

I'm thinking that you can feel it too

I'm headed down to Boston where Charley river's flowing

And everyone out there has a song just for me

And I can smell the morning

As I roll on through Portland

And a voice singing 1,000 miles until you finally are free

I was looking for something

As I touched down in London

Off to find some things I've never seen

Listen

Go out and chase stars

But don't wander too far

Just look up

And you'll see what I mean

California's falling

And the comedown is calling

Floating on the air

Cool as the breeze

Before those storm clouds start rolling

I should get to going

I still have 1,000 miles until I finally am free
