Austin (Boots Stop Workin')

We had a plan
Move out of this town, baby
West to the sand
It's all we talked about lately
I'd pack the car, bring your guitar
And Jane for smoking
First thing at dawn you'd cue the songs
And we'd get going

But you weren't home
Waited on the porch for ya
Sat there alone
All throughout the morn till I
Got a hunch down in my gut
And snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned
Your shit was never packed

Did your boots stop working
Did your truck break down (Truck break down)
Did you burn through the money
Did your ex find out (Ex find out)
Where there's a will then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it

Was the whiskey flowing
Were you in a fight (In a fight)
Did the nerves come get you
What's your alibi (Alibi)
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years you'll still be here
Drunk, washed up in Austin

A hell of bluff
You had me believing
How many months
Did you plan on leaving
What happened, bad habits
Did you go back
Go batshit, I loved you
How tragic

Did your boots stop working
Did your truck break down (Truck break down)
Did you burn through the money
Did your ex find out (Ex find out)
Where there's a will then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it

Was the whiskey flowing
Were you in a fight (In a fight)
Did the nerves come get you
What's your alibi (Alibi)
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years you'll still be here
Drunk, washed up in Austin

Did your truck break down
Did your ex find out
