Take Me Back to Austin

by Jason Boland & The Stragglers

Lyrics
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
