about

"Hey Austin" is a love letter to Austin, TX that I wrote when I moved to Canada. The bridge, "everything is so familiar. everything is so familiar." isn't as true as it used to be. There Lots of growth in Austin!

lyrics

Gonna drag my heart right out of this town
or someone will claim it in the lost and found
cuz where I am now, it's gonna break in two

I had lots of fun driving around
On 1-35 to Mopac South
Blasting the "Believer’s", "It’s a Hard Road”

Feeling tired and my hair is a mess
but it’s the biggest party in the Southwest
I gotta buck up. I would be sorry to miss it

Hey Austin, Hey Austin
Hey Austin

Spring is here and poppies are in bloom and also there are bonnets of blue.
The grass is green but it could be brown by June.

I ate some migas about eight.
There were four or five salsas or was that seis
That's a little in-joke for the old Austin crew

Hey Austin, Hey Austin
Hey Austin

Everything is so familiar. Everything is so familiar.
Everything is so familiar. Everything is so familiar.

Everywhere I go I have a ton of friends
that maybe I can count in units of 10
If I don't know you now, it's likely our paths will cross.

If I arrive at the pearly gates
It'll look like the Springs when we're swimming late.
The ions and moonlight make us happy

Hey Austin, Hey Austin
Hey Austin, I love you.
