AUSTIN

Mary Jane unmarried music, she and Austin got the kids
It was a clinical divorce, and the doctor said, “Hey, it's for the best”
And the thumbs of capital city try to hold my Mary's hands
While the other eight fingers try and undo her dress

I'm a child and I'm a sinner, in God's eyes I'm a beginner
I say I'm doing fine but I'm not fine
I know that she ain't in it, but when I pass those city limits
She's always walking Austin in my mind, always in my mind

Every now and then I see her, but I know she isn't here...
In the summer with her boyfriend somewhere on the south side of the drag
And the specters of the heartbreak, they haunt the hotels and the landscape
And I get trashed in Zilker Park and pass out in the backseat of a cab

I'm an artist and I'm a poet, when I'm with her I always blow it
I say I'm doing fine but I'm not fine
I know that she ain't in it, but when I pass those city limits
She's always walking Austin in my mind, she's always in my mind

Just about the time you call, all the memories start sinking in
You're making it so hard, you're making it so hard to start over again
Oh, you're making it so hard to start over again
Oh, you're making it so hard to start over again
Oh, you're making it so hard to start over again
Oh, you make it so damn hard to start over again

The apartment where we live lies in ashes and it gives
A place for the hippie kids to play with their toys (and)
Mary Jane unmarried music on May Twenty-Third
And moved far away, far away from the poison

I'm a child and I'm a sinner, in God's eyes I'm a beginner
(I) When, I say I'm doing fine, I'm just a liar
I know that she ain't in it, but when I pass those city limits
She's always walking Austin in my mind, oh, she's in my mind
