matthew logan vasquez - austin lyrics

Loading...

you wound me in
in my earlier years
i was too young to fear
the danger was near
not born, but raised
in the mid-90s rage
in my suburban cage
just south of the lake

we snuck out so late
and we ran from the cops
we hid in the church
my father was mad
we climbed the roof
watched the morning appear
this hill country view
can hold on to you

they fell out of love
then ran out of cash
they were trying their best
their children went west
through the valley of death
not knowing a thing
we’re chuck and irene

they arrived at the coast
my brother and i
two texas to hide
still cuts in our eyes
well, it was sink or swim
and i sank like a stone
back to austin i went
to my grandmother’s home

it was just out of reach
one high school away
i felt so alone
i felt so alone
i made that red-headed girl cry
i told her god was dead
that it was all in her head
i felt so alone

the next day was black
from the drugs that i ate
the whole trip finally peaked
the devil in me
i crawled so far inside
there we were eye to eye
the demons and me
we were thinking the same thing

my daddy arranged
me, put on a plane
“our son’s lost his way
heal in jesus’ name”
i fell into grace
my demons and me
will stand in the light
i’ll promise to keep

then i grew to a man
this light had fallen dim
i roam through the earth
not giving a shit

like a ghost from the past
somehow she saw me
and everyone that i’ve been
she put them back into reach
i met her by chance
in a fresno bar
she pulled me right out of the pit
with lovin’ right in her heart

with my cup overflowin’
back to austin we go
the city has changed
and so have i
but it’s never left my mind
the holiest of commanche hills
the cedar smell, the midnight thrills
austin, don’t let me go
austin, don’t let me go
austin, don’t let me go
austin, don’t let me go
