Trent Herrera Band - Heart of Austin

Dearest darling
My how things have changed
Back when your blue eyes weren't strange
A hundred miles from home, I came to stay
Your house was haunted
With ghosts you thought were friends
They locked the doors 'till our love burned
All hill country away

Her Colorado floods in blue skies
Her sun shines through Rainey nights
And when she's cold there's a chance for snow
Deep in the heart of Austin
There's a girl I used to know

I ain't Jesus
But you confessed to me
Your love and wrongs I sang along
These dirty streets of hymns will make you see
That sweet forgiveness
Is a sinner's song to play
You wore your cross with lingerie
Heaven's got no city limits anyway

Her Colorado floods in blue skies
Her sun shines through Rainey nights
And when she's cold there's a chance for snow
Deep in the heart of Austin
There's a girl I used to know

God I missed you
Like the downtown metro train
You were here and gone
The city partied on
No innocence to be ashamed
And Lord the city
Sure put a hurt on you
6th street bars carved out hidden scars
Beat you black and blue

Eastbound from Austin
The country's calling soon
I'll always bleed maroon
But my eyes of Texas
Are upon you
