Laura Nero in the dark.

Waiting for my life to start.

Trading kisses for a spark

to light my desperation.

B.1

The shoes don’t fit.

The too tight clothes.

I was always the last to know.

I gathered up my chances

And I took to the road.

V.2

Twenty three with 6th St dreams.

The Amps were loud.

Our souls were clean.

We sang out strong.

We made a scene.

We knew our destination.

B.2

We made the cut.

We wore the clothes.

We put on a real good show

We spent all our chances.

Till we ran out of road.

CHORUS:

Now the Texas stars keep shining.

And the moon holds up the sky.

I will drive till I see

the lights of Austin.

Till I lay me down by your side.

V.3

From what you say you did your best.

School, a husband, house and deck

Like the laundry, clean and pressed

But somehow you broke free.

B.3

The wrong fit.

The wrong clothes.

It took all you had to go.

You were running out of chances.

You were running out of road.

CHORUS

V.4

So breathe in slow and hold me tight.

Stories for 10,000 nights.

If we get it wrong.

we’ll make it right.

That how it’s has to be.

B.4

I love you fierce.

I love you best.

You can hold these words up to the test.

We can hold our heads up high.

I’m never sorry.

CHORUS

I will drive till I see

the lights of Austin.

Till I lay me down by your side.
