    Story Behind the Song
    A good friend of mine from Austin, Texas told me about the town and I loved it so much I wrote it into the story. I've still never been there, but I'd like to go someday. The songs was cut in my home studio with Danny Oberbeck on drums and Lief Frederick on bass. I overdubbed all the guitars and vocals.

    Lyrics
    Friday night in Austin
    It's such a lovely town
    The people are nice, the clubs are great
    There's music all around
    If I could settle down here
    Then things would be all right
    But I've got the itch to travel
    And I just love to ride

    Friday night in Austin
    Beats everywhere I've been
    Where I can breathe the summer air
    Where everyone's your friend

    Cricket's chirping loudly
    Fireflies fill the night
    New York is a different world
    Where life is such a fight
    The days are so relaxing
    The night's alive with sounds
    It's Friday night in Austin
    It's such a lovely town

    Chorus

    As much as I'd like to stay
    I've got the itch to ride
    But I'll be back someday, somehow
    I feel it deep inside

    Chorus
