Asphalt and Concrete

I can stay alive when it gets a little hotter
I can survive on just a little water
I can be all alone and not feel the slightest bit bothered

But this dusty desert girl drifted to the city
The bright lights made even the worst sin look pretty
I spiraled downward, my mama would say what a pity

Well in my defense it was an Austin moonrise
And I was left unsupervised
I lost myself in the middle of sixth street
Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet
Whiskey made me opinionated
Overserved and overstimulated
Neon lights put off a different kind of heat
You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete

I'm into sunsets and I love the sand
I wasn't myself in a disrupted land
With buildings and people and too many drinks in my hand

So midnight would give me life like the rain
There was nothing to celebrate but I had champagne
And a man who loved me a little bit less than cocaine

Well in my defense it was an Austin moonrise
And I was left unsupervised
I lost myself in the middle of sixth street
Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet
Whiskey made me opinionated
Overserved and overstimulated
Neon lights put off a different kind of heat
You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete

I lost myself in the middle of sixth street
Boots turned to high heels which turned into bare feet
Neon lights put off a different kind of heat
You can't plant a cactus in asphalt and concrete
