Nights Of Austin Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I look out to them storage sheds from the Hills Café Sign
And wait out for the mariachi band, they practice in the night
They ain't got no power you know them sheds got a one single light
But two fifty-foot extensions' gonna make everything alright
And so they play, they play

[Verse 2]
We get pretty good rain out here you know every once in a while
The great big blue Northern sings like a Chris Ledoux lullaby
It ain't like old Spofford where that dry air makes the lightning flash so bright
We'd wait for the fires

[Chorus]
Cause these nights of Austin just fade in and out
Like I've never seen no daylight in this town
Hill Country rain falls on sweet southern ground
And when I finally see daylight in this town I'm washed away

[Verse 3]
And look out to the skyline from Riverside Drive
One of them buildings stares back at you like a barn owl in the skies
Sixth street and old Neches for a cigarette, a good friend of mine, he'll sing Neil Young
He puts on a smile and closes his eyes and he sings
"Hey hey, my my, rock n' roll never dies"
[Chorus]
Cause these nights of Austin just fade in and out
Like I've never seen no daylight in this town
The street poet plays his, his sweet southern sound
And when I finally see daylight in this town
I'm washed away

[Outro]
Cause these nights of Austin just fade in and out
It's like I've never seen no daylight in this town
