Lyrics
"Austin Bound"
Music/Lyrics by John Kelly Wilson
Verse
Came to Music City, dreams running through my head
Focused on wanting to make it big, I was driven
That's the way I've always been
Then I met you and you showed me there's more to life than chasing fame
Somewhere along the way I took you for granted
Wish it all ended some other way
Chorus
Now I'm, Austin bound
Austin bound
Tennessee's in the rearview mirror
I'm headin back home alone
I'm Austin bound
Verse
Dreams started to become reality
I was blinded and lost my way
Sniff of success came quickly, intoxicating but soon faded away
Took a few wrong turns along that climb
Doesn't matter now what I did
I knew it was wrong and what it meant for us
Now so many regrets
Chorus
Now I'm Austin bound
Austin bound
Tennessee's in the rearview mirror
I'm headin back home alone
I'm Austin bound
Bridge
What I looked for when I came to Nashville
Wasn't what I actually found
It was you and this Texas boy threw it all away
Don't know how to ever find it again
Chorus
Now I'm Austin bound
Austin bound
Tennessee's in the rearview mirror
I'm headin back home
I'm Austin bound
I'm Austin bound
I'm Austin bound
