Went to Austin Texas for a day To everyone I saw I said your name The settin' sun the hot wind on my face Felt like home an unfamiliar place ♪ We were cowboys in another life But I am you, your other life is mine Often when I speak to you I cry Never can explain the reason why Never understood the reason Late at night there is a fire on ♪ All my life around it singin' songs ♪ When you were far away when I was young Sittin' on the front step on the phone Look up at the moon, my love Above me is the very same one You and I the same one The streets of Laredo sing me to sleep at night
Your first baby did you really cry ♪ Tough and strong but soft around the eyes
I hope I laugh enough to have those lines ♪ I'll go back to Austin soon, I hope I'll see you in the heat and in the smoke On the road and playin' just like you I'll bring you back some Texas BBQ
