about

"Moving to Austin", about the mass migration of San Francisco friends to Austin, TX. Having Jack and Melanie play on this one was a no-brainer as was having Ian on the steel guitar, and Heather make it into a country vocal duet with me.

lyrics

Moving to Austin

Well you’re moving to Austin cuz that’s where you go
When you’ve worn out your welcome with San Francisco
It’s time to leave California for that lone Texas star
Cuz you’ve been 86’d from every mission bar
When the fog and the hills have got you felling so low
And you’ve already banged everybody you know
You’re moving to Austin cuz it’s time to leave
When you haven’t got anymore tricks up your sleeve
When every morning feels just the same
As you get up and do that same old walk of shame
And you go down to the station and run into those friends
They don’t ask where you’re going,
But they know where you’ve been
Now Austin wouldn’t shame you or call you a slut
Or criticize you for the size of your butt
You may find southern kindness in all whom you greet
But you might just be lookin' like a fresh piece of meat
So you’re moving to Austin cuz that’s where you go
When nine of your exes wind up at your show
You’re moving to Austin with a smile on your face
Cuz your happy to leave this incestuous place
And Portland’s too Portland and L.A.’s too L.A.
So say howdy to Texas and say good bye to the bay
Now Austin wouldn’t shame you or call you a slut
0r criticize you for the size of your gut
You may find southern kindness in all whom you greet
But you might just be lookin' like a fresh piece of meat
So your moving to Austin cause that’s where you go
But it won’t be long till you back …in San Fran-cis-co
