There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue
I´m finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure

How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June
You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon
But, babe, I´ve gotta heal myself from the things I´ve never felt
Repression is my heaven but I´d rather go through hell

It´s ´bout time that I left Austin
´Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn´t move as quick
As the train rolling through town
´Bout time that I face
The hard times I´ve let go
If love was just an ocean
I would drown before I float

You remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town
When I gave you all I had, but it still let you down?
Everyone I´ve ever loved has either left or died
Wish I was born with concrete shoes, but I´m leaving tonight

It´s ´bout time that I left Austin
´Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn´t move as quick
As the trains rolling through town
´Bout time that I face
The hard times I´ve let go
If love was just an ocean
I would drown before I float

Float

Float

There´s concrete below me and a sky above so blue
People ruin people, I don´t wanna ruin you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

And I´m finally gone from Austin
You finally settled down
With a man who didn´t move as quick
As the trains that rolled through town
I finally had to face
The hard times I´ve let go
If loving you was an ocean
I´d have drowned so you could float
