Lyrics

In a town just south of Austin underneath a starry sky
I been looking for a payphone so I can hear your voice tonight
In a motel near San Marcos just an answering machine
But I can't leave a message, now I can't fall asleep
And I wonder if tonight's another secret that you keep
I know nothing lasts forever except possibly the pain
Of thinking you have everything then starting over again

There's a bible on the nightstand, people say it's worth a try
Maybe someone's words of wisdom can make me see the light
Eight hundred miles between us, what difference does it make
When every time I hold you close you're still that far away
And every time I'm over you you're still standing in my way

We hold out for some kind of sign to tell us what to do
But I just drove in circles underneath the Texas moon

A midnight walk down 6th Street to a generic little bar
They're blowing harp and singing there and playing slide guitar
Folding chairs, a concrete floor, and ninety-nine cent beer
All I need now is a woman and I could fall in love right here
And if she keeps talking to me it'll make you disappear
Just a lonely out of towner with a brand new broken heart
It might not be the right way, but hell, it's a start

We pray for inspiration as we're digging for the truth
Now my heart's just a shadow there beneath the Texas moon
Lead

Everybody seems real friendly here inside this airport bar
As I wait for my  departure with my bags and my guitar
So I throw back another whiskey and I toast the Lone Star State
And I fly home with my wallet just as empty as my fate
'Cuz everytime I'm over you you're still standing in my way

We look for better answers when we can't accept the truth
So my heart stayed behind me there beneath the Texas moon
