Might Have Been In Austin

There's a girl waiting for me in Austin
She knows I'm coming through today
She's waiting to see if I'll stop by
Waits to see what I have to say

There's a strong wind blowing in Austin
Strange for this time of year
So I wonder if it's not a message of sorts
Something that I should hear
A message I'm supposed to hear
My head says keep on blowing
My heart says you're out of your mind
Enoughs enough you're only just so tough
You need to learn to read the signs
Of a road that's going nowhere
Just leading you around the bend
To where another bend waits again
Just like every other time
Just like every other time

As a poet and a dreamer
Who part-times as a fool
You can't ignore the unexplored
You can't live with what might have been
Well, there's a might have been in Austin
And though it hasn't happened yet
It's more a question of when this time
And less a question if
Yeah, it's less a question if

Those might have beens and those then agains
Can sure push and pull and can tear you
And hinting winds and those hidden bends
Can sure leave your compass a mess
But if the to and fro ever let you go
The shock would surely kill you
So you just move on
Cause it's all you've ever known

There's a might have been in Austin
And though it hasn't happened yet
It's more a question of when this time
And less a question if
It's less a question if
It's less a question if
