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, that 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 trains rolling through town

'bout time that I face

The hard times I've let go

If love is just an ocean

I would drown before I float.

Do 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 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 is 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 rolled through town

I finally had to face

The hard times I've let go

If loving you's an ocean

I'd have drowned so you could float.
