A D E A

Well, I spilled my coffee on the Sunday paper, I feel a Monday morning coming on

E D E A

Yeah, I knew it’d hit me sooner or later, this crazy, lonely feeling I don’t belong

E D A

This old job is just a job, and that’s all it’s gonna be

E D A

But I know a town that can offer me the things I need to see

A D E A

They can talk about us all they want, but come tomorrow morning we’ll be gone

Chorus:

D E A

We’ll be long gone to Austin

D E A

This big city life’s really got me down

D E A D

Long gone to Austin alone

D E A

Hell, we ain’t got no ties left in this town

Now tomorrow I’ll hand them my walking papers, grab my check then it’s all said and done

No gold watch, no last minute favors, just open the gate and, Baby, watch us run

Well I never fit in and I think it’s a sin, the way they treated me

But I know a town that can offer me the things I need to see

And we’ll be there without a care before they realize that we’re gone

Chorus

Now you get a pen and I’ll get a paper, we’re gonna sit down and write ourselves a song

Gonna take a little chance on a two-step dancing, kick your heels up and maybe they’ll sing along

This old road’s going to take us down to a place I want to be, to a town I know they can

offer me the things I need to see

By the time they finally realize this song’s worth hearing, Baby, we’ll be gone

Chorus
