Lyrics
Right now, I don't care about anything...
not worried about bills, life,
the future, or my rest...
I took a little walk outside
and let the wind just carry away my mind
(for a moment, at best)
I sang a little bit of my favorite songs,
you might as well been singing along
and for once, I let my lungs take a breath
of everything I had forgetten to see,
and I wondered why this town's been killing me, and oh yeah...maybe it's 'cause I'm not home...
CHORUS:
Those Austin nights are haunting me,
calling me down, down, into the hills again,
Those Austin nights are haunting me,
calling me down, down, into the hills,
I wonder when I'll be back home again...
Back then it seemed like I had everything,
all of my world boxed up like a tic-tac,
I used to really love the drive from
Dallas/Fort Worth, feeling alive again,
somewhat wrinkled and unpressed
I always felt I'd been gone a bit too long,
I missed my 2-1 with every song I sang,
it seemed to slowly drift away...
I didn't really need much of anything,
I had my friends, a few dirty flings,
and oh yeah, maybe some things I won't say...
(chorus)
Just lemme get a handle on this high...
Shift that second hand down to second gear, so I can paperweight these times,
just lemme feel a little satisfied,
I don't wanna miss today by tonight!
(chorus)
