lyrics

Jesus baby
you can’t take nothing with you
when we go
up above West Texas
you landed and
called the desert your home

Overtures of bible verses
the summer is hotter than hell
a cryptic message
that tells a whole other story

you called this state your home
but the common folk heard you wrong
you might shout
but they will not be heard

so you up and moved to Austin
and you brought that holy ghost
to the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt

Pretty baby
I won't take nothing with me
when I go
up to the otherside of town
we're starting to
call each other our own

Echoes of a shadow from
a story of last nights dream
I love to hear the reaches
of your mind

You called this state your home
long before I'd come along
but you I found
cause Texas is a magic word

you grew up right here in Austin
you were born with the holy ghost
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt

There is something in the presence
that you bring
I can't explain
there is something flowing through
the heart of this city

I'm feeling good
and you are too
and it's all because of you
I'm seeing Texas from
the heaven's point of view

We call this state our home
where the summer is extra long
and where we shout
so the wilderness inside is heard

we are lovers here in Austin
where we praise the holy ghost
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt
of the water
that flows from a cavern in the dirt
