We had a plan, move out of this town baby West to the sand, it's all we talked about
lately I packed a car, bring your guitar and Jane
for smokin' First thing at dawn, you'd cue the songs
and we'd get goin' Brought you on home, waited on the porch
for you Sat there alone, all throughout the morn'
till I got a hunch down in my gut and snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed
Did your boot stop workin'? Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money? Did your ex find out?
Well there's a will and there's a way and I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye, just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowin'? Were you in a fight?
Did the nurse come get you? What's your alibi?
I made my way back to L.A. and that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years you'll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin
You're a hell of a bluff, you had me believin'
How many months did you plan on leavin'?
What happened? Bad habits, you go back, go back
Shit, I loved you, how tragic, oh
Did your boot stop workin'? Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money? Did your ex find out?
Well there's a will and there's a way and I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye, just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowin'? Were you in a fight?
Did the nurse come get you? What's your alibi?
I made my way back to L.A. and that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years you'll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin
you
