Turnpike Troubadours
Austin to Ashes
[Verse 1]
Sweet little girl, ever changin'
Change your ways
Waste me away, again
You’re bettin on freedom
To find what you like
You’re headed for Austin
Ya ain't comin' back

[Chorus]
When I close my eyes, the same reckoning found
I wanna see Austin, burnt to the ground
Drivin' around, drive myself crazy
I feel I’m just wastin' time
I broke hard for Austin, broke down inside
It took two hundred miles to change my mind
I turned it around, I turned on a dime
Austin to ashes, fire in the sky
Faith in believin', I’ve done everything but die

[Outro]
When I close my eyes, the same reckoning found
I wanna see Austin, burnt to the ground
