[Verse 1]
Went to Austin, Texas for a day
To everyone I saw, I said your name
The setting sun, the hot wind on my face
Felt like home, an unfamiliar place
[Verse 2]
We were cowboys in another life
But I am you, your other life is mine
Often when I speak to you, I cry
Never can explain the reason why
Never understood the reason
Late at night there is a fire on
All my life, around it singing songs
[Verse 3]
When you were far away when I was young
Sitting on the front step on the phone
Look up at the moon, my love
Above me is the very same one
You and I, the same one
[Verse 4]
The streets of Laredo sing me to sleep at night
Your first baby, did you really cry
Tough and strong but soft around the eyes
I hope I laugh enough to have those lines
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
I’ll go back to Austin soon, I hope
I’ll see you in the heat and in the smoke
On the road and playing just like you
I’ll bring you back some Texas BBQ
