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
