Austin on the Line

Austin's been calling me bout some old sad songs he's been pickin
Wanting me to come back home cause mama's sick and needs help with the chickens
And lost my way on a star I'd been wishing

If you listen to the hickory wind you can hear the angels as they're singing
Sunday morning eggs and bacon coffee and the church bells are ringing
Somewhere in the lonely night stumbled fell and lost my sight
Crawling home while the neon keeps on burning

Austin if you're still on the line go tell Mama to keep on praying
The law has been chasing me for something I'm not doing
My yesterdays caught up with me The sky's getting too dark to see
I made my home in the lost city of ancient ruins

Austin's been calling me bout some old sad songs he's been pickin
Wanting me to come back home cause mama's sick and needs help with the children
And lost my way on a star I'd been wishing
