Sugar Bayou Band - Leavin' for Austin Lyrics

When that sunlight spills over town
If you’re looking for me I won’t be around
She’s been gone far too long, got to go and bring her home
Leaving for Austin tonight

I hear that knockin’–now my wheel pulls right
I’ll fix that flat tire in the moonlight
But I won’t let it slow me down, heading for that river town
Leaving for Austin tonight
Chorus
In the hills and the lakes she can get away
She’s got family up there where she can stay
And whatever it takes for me to make it right
I’m leaving for Austin tonight

Come the morning it might be too late
I’ve gone and waited long enough to plan this escape
She might do something foolishly, forget that she’s in love with me
Leaving for Austin tonight
I’m leaving for Austin tonight
