When I Get Back To Austin Lyrics

Well I drove home at midnight

South down I-35

Trying to get you off my mind

But the voices on the radio

Talked of things I didn't know

So I just sang Silent Night

Well I thought we were done for good

But I misunderstood the meaning of the word goodbye

'Cause it wasn't a month before

You were knocking down my front door

Saying baby take me for a ride

So I'm gonna stay at home

Smoke some dope

And pretend that everything's alright

'Cause when I get back to Austin

You'll be whispering in my ear

Saying baby won't you come over tonight

Well when I sang you Fraulein

Thought you were all mine

But that was another lie

'Cause in your loaded eyes

I was just some other guy

With whom you'd never compromise

Well it took one hell of a try

From one hell of a guy

To get me out this mess

And here's to you ole Travis Flippo

The only decent man I do know

You're a cut above the rest

So I'm gonna stay at home

Smoke some dope

And pretend that everything's alright

'Cause when I get back to Austin

You'll be whispering in my ear

Saying baby won't you come over tonight

Yes I'm gonna stay at home

Smoke some dope

And pretend that everything's alright

'Cause when I get back to Austin

You'll be whispering in my ear

Saying baby won't you come over tonight
