South of Austin Lyrics

There's a dirty dive bar whiskey pouring

Full of tank-top tanned girls

Drinking it up in their own little worlds

There's a fuming boy penned in the corner

Tucked into a booth like he always has

Ripping well whiskey drunk off his ass

By the time midnight decides to strike

He'll be blacked out into tomorrow

With all the courage he'd long forgotten

He'll have found himself someone to dance

A dark-haired beauty only two drinks deep

Too good and kind to know he's what she needs

Well He's the quiet type

In a state of mind

He'll get back to her

At the right time 

By the end it of it

He can't handle this 

He'll knock one down 

To give her a kiss 

He'll have forgotten her name by tomorrow

She'll be on a plane headed to South of Austin 

There's a windy dusty road in Texas 

A ford pickup cutting through the wind

She's off to see her momma in them hills

There's some Chris Ledoux tunes on the speakers

An ode to her late Daddy died this year last 

An old hat cowboy who bucked broncs bare back 

But she just can't get it out of her mind

That boy she met out in North Caroline 

She just wish he'd been sober enough to drive

He drank the same damn whiskey as her daddy 

He was quiet strong angry and kind 

I guess its one of those things you don't notice at the time 

Well she's the wild kind

With a peace of mind

She only acts as if 

She was raised right

After all of this 

She can't forget that kiss

And now she's wondering 

Where he is 

She'll have gotten home to her Momma 

She'll forget a fuming boy in North Carolina
