Austin Lyrics by Eric Johnson

Up Close

2011

I was born in austin
On a summer day
But medicine from Georgetown
Made me strong, on my way

I would go to the Jade Room
On a truesday eve
I was only fourteen
Kept my age up my sleeve

Everyday we would celebrate
And play some music with friends
Looking through such a different sky
Way back then

Oh we made some magic
Through the night till noon
We could tell it was happening
From the smoke in the room

All those days out by the lake
Wind streaming through you hair
Had no reason to complicate
Not a care

See the town expand now
Nothing stays the same
Watershed recedes now
Who's in charge? Who's to blame?
