{fingerpicked acoustic guitar
open, warm slide guitar swells,
laidback acoustic-driven intro}
That blazing sun up in Victoria's sky
Got me thinking back
to where the river runs dry
Just driving slow in my old pickup truck
Two-lane highway, testing our luck
It takes me straight back home
to Austin, Texas
To the long-lost summer
we left behind
Now we're drinking cheap beer by the county line
(yeah) {soaring pedal steel hook} Saw my old school friends,
haven't seen 'em in years
Sharing old stories, wiping away the tears
Used to sneak out back,
now we're acting like adults Drinking whiskey buzzes,
sharing the results (ahhhhh)
It takes me straight back home
to Austin, Texas To the long-lost summer
we left behind
Now we're drinking cheap beer by the county line
(oh yeah)
Just a whiskey buzz under that Texas sky (hummmmm)
{fading acoustic flatpicking
and warm slide guitar swells}
