about

It's an odd thing to realize you've probably written the song they'll sing at your funeral. My love letter to Austin, TX.

lyrics

If heaven is a place, I’m not sure I’ll get in
What I call a good time some have called a sin
I have read the good book and I‘ve listened to the Word
But none of it compares to all the stories that I’ve heard

If I die before I wake
Lyin’ next to you
I hope I go to Austin
1962

I don’t mean to be greedy, Lord, with my own paradise
Just give me twenty good years to see with my own eyes
Put me in a cool car, a Lone Star in my hand
Make me twice as good at guitar so I can keep up with the band

If I die before I wake
Lyin next to you
I hope I go to Austin
1962

I want to watch them break ground on the Broken Spoke
And if Willie’s at the ‘Dillo, I hope you won’t begrudge a toke
And if I’ve spent my whole life chasin’ something I can’t see
A loving Lord would sure reward a Man of Faith like me

If I die
Before I wake lying next to you
I hope I go to Austin
1962

There’s just one thing missin’ in all my heavenly revelry
The girl I met in Austin who’s lying next to me
So when it’s said and done and I’ve had my fun, pour me up a beer
And let me wait by the dance floor until she meets me here

If I die before I wake
Lyin next to you
I hope I go to Austin
1962
