Austin 06:38
you know I've been all over from Portland to St. Paul from Albuquerque to New York I thought I'd seen it all but you seem fond of Austin and I don't get the thrill I've never been and frankly I doubt I ever will I've had deep dish in Chicago and lobster rolls in Maine I've even gone to Kyoto and had noodle on the plane but you're a fan of Austin and are always eatin' out well I don't really get what the fuss is all about oh what's so great about Austin that you're not here with me? I feel like I'm exhaustin' all my options, honestly while I'm frostin' up in Boston you'll be sauced and lost in Austin olly oxen free no I've never been to Texas but I'm not opposed to going to Houston, Dallas, or Ft. Worth I'll fly there on a Boeing but you're in love with Austin or at least that's what you say until you change your mind I'm gonna stay the hell away well what's so great about Austin that you're not here with me? I feel like I'm exhaustin' all my options, honestly while I'm frostin' up in Boston you'll be sauced and lost in Austin olly olly oxen free this song is nearly over but I just had to say when you go back to Austin I miss you every day I'm a long long ways from Austin as I think we're both aware but if you ever leave then you know that I'll be there what's so great about Austin that you're not here with me? I feel like I've exhausted all my options, honestly while I'm frostin' up in Boston you'll be sauced and lost in Austin olly oxen free

I've been riding this old flying steed on cloudy prairies, petroleum feed in the saddle I've had all the sun I can stand I'll lay in the shade of my true love's hand and if my true love is drownded in the sea I'll hang my head as the hangman hangs me and if you find me, untie me from this old oak tree this travelling's unravelling my sanity in my stirrups, my feet can't reach the clouds so close to heaven, so far from the crowds but now we're landing and I'm standing in an alien isle but I'm safe in the raphe of my true love's smile and there's my true love, a dagger in her breast I'd be acquitted if the jury confessed so if you see me, then free me from this whole wild west arrest me, my destiny is made manifest my mind starts to wander, my heart grows fonder dreaming of home and my darling dear mother the old cottage door, I've been there before when I picked a rose by morn bedewed the whippoorwill singing my soul is bringing closer to heaven to be with my brother and as death draws near, I'll whisper, "my dear remember the rose I gave to you" bashful eyes, they hide a killer's fire behind those lashes, a deadly desire but you gallop, morale up ignoring the odds while friends you know ascend to go where angels trod are there angels where my lover lies? crowns of glory or maggots and flies? now my bridle sits idle a word to the wise it's all fun 'til someone reaches for the skies and someone's true love dies

oh you've already sold your soul but no one ever has to know just keep it under wraps, Ms. Mary Mack keep it shut in silver buttons you'd trade it all for fifty cents a chance to see the elephants a cheap and easy thrill to do what you will keep it shut in silver buttons it all amounts to nothing much our guardian angels in their games of double dutch and here you are in someone's game makes all your failures and your triumphs seem the same so take it off and let them see don't feel compelled to button up for privacy with all those buttons down your back no one suspects Ms. Mary Mack you've never been so high, your 4th of July keep it shut in silver buttons

happy is the face you make when your love is walking down the isle locking lips with her mistake and all you can do is smile and sad is the face you make when you didn't know him all that well you're sitting still and feeling fake and hoping no one else can tell happy is the face you make when you say, "I always cry at weddings" you wonder how much you can take well you found out once but keep forgetting and sad is the face you make when you say, "I'm sorry for your loss" you do it for the family's sake but to them you're only David Voss should I get up at the very least and say a few words about the bride or the deceased whichever comes first or should I wait 'til I get home and put it in verse, put it in verse? three cheers to you three cheers to me three cheers to who we used to be sad is the face you make when you realize they're gone forever one's a wedding, one's a wake but it makes no difference whatsoever

the old familiar hill haloed round in red everything is still everyone in their bed the night owl sees the glow and flies out from his nest to let his neighbors know it's coming over the crest the wind is blowing wild tonight and something 'bout that sunrise don't seem right it's time, it's time to take flight the fire is moving fast down to Rincon Valley the stomping ground of the past home to Mrs. McNally it's climbing up the ridge headed straight for the town it's slowing just a smidge but it's bound to burn it down the wind is blowing wild tonight and everything around us is burning bright it's time, it's time to take flight a stark before and after of the old round barn I used to sit in its rafters and now it's gone so goodbye Coffey Park and so long Fountaingrove we packed our things in the dark and away we drove the wind was blowing wild that night not a star was shining but the sky was full of light it's time, it's time to take flight the old familiar hill haloed round in red everything is still everyone in their bed
