Austin (Boots Stop Workin')

We had a plan, move out of this town baby West of the sand, it's all we talked about lately

I packed a car, bring your guitar and Jane for smokin' First thing of dawn and we'd cue the songs and we'd get goin'

Brought you on home, waited on the porch for ya Sat there alone, all throughout the morn'

Until I got a hunch down in my gut and snuck around the back

Empty cans and I'll be damned your bags were never packed

Did your boot stop working? Did your truck break down?

Did you run out of money? Did your ex find out?

But there's a will and there's a way and I'm damn sure you lost it

Didn't even say goodbye, just wish I knew the cost

It was the whiskey flowing, were you in on it?

Let the nurse come get you, what's your alibi?

I've been away, back to my leg, and that's where you'll be forgotten

You're 40 years, you'll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin

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 bash, I loved you, how tragic, oh

Did your boot stop working?

Did your truck break down?

Did you burn through money?

Did your ex find out?

But there's a will and there's a way

And I'm damn sure you lost it

You didn't even say goodbye

Just wish I knew

What cost it was, the whiskey

Flowing for you in my head

Did the nurse come

And get you what you're at?

I'm in a way, back to my leg, and that's where you'll be forgotten

You're 40 years, you'll still be here, drunk, washed up, and awesome

And it's your fault

It's your bad, it's your fault
