about

The oldest song in this collection, from 2009. A very true story about my first time living in Austin, TX.

lyrics

Meet me at the moon tower in Clarksville,
bring whatever money you can find
Ill fill your weary head up with a beautiful dream
if you promise to fill my head too

Meet me on the corner 6th and Lamar
underneath a million twinkling stars
A few hours to kill before it’s over
Ill kiss your eyes and enjoy life

And the fog embeds the city as we’re driving home
and the streetlights go out one by one, as we try to run
with my hands tight on the steering wheel and tears in my eyes
I laugh and cry all at the same time

Meet me at the doorstep to our house
Pick whichever one you like
what’s a man without imagination?
All dried out, dead inside
a coward baby, chicken shit
you gotta take your chances, run and roll with it
no matter what you end up with…
And the fog embeds the city as we’re driving home
and the streetlights go out one by one as we try to run
with my hands tight on the steering wheel and tears in my eyes
I laugh and cry, all at the same time
