Lyrics
1309 North Austin
Right there where that old house used to be
Underneath that Post Oak tree
My imagination running wild and free
That boy was me
I was Tarzan swinging from a jungle vine
Pretending squirrels were tigers and lions
King of the jungle for all time
In my mind
Chorus: Nothing left except a vacant lot
A time and place others have forgot
I close my eyes and I'm a kid again
At 1309 North Austin
I was Spiderman spinning a web
Beating up the bad guys in my head
No one knew the secret life I led
When I was ten
I was a fighter pilot ace in a jet plane
The Lone Ranger with deadly aim
A Comanche warrior riding 'cross the plains
Is who I became
Repeat chorus:
Bridge: I cherish all the memories I made
Playing in the shade.....
Right there where that old house used to be
Underneath that Post Oak tree
My imagination running wild and free
at 1309 North Austin.....1309 North Austin
