Nights of Austin

I look out to them storage sheds from a Hills Cafe Sign And wait out for the mariachi bands, they practice in the night They ain't got no power you know, them sheds got a one single light But two fifty-foot extensions gonna make everything alright And so they play, they play We get pretty good rain out here, you know, every once in a while A great big blue Northern sings in like a Chris Ledoux lullaby It ain't like old Spofford where that dry air makes the lightning flash So bright We'd wait for the fires Cause these nights of Austin Just fade in and out It's like I've never seen no daylight in this town. Hill Country rain falls, on sweet southern ground And when I finally see daylight in this town I'm washed away And look out to the skyline from Riverside Drive One of them buildings stares back at you like a barn owl in the skies Sixth street and old Neches for a cigarette, a good friend of mine, he'll sing Neil Young He puts on a smile and closes his eyes and he sings "Hey hey, my my. Rock n' Roll never dies" Cause these nights of Austin Just fade in and out Like I've never seen no daylight in this town The street poet plays his, his sweet southern sound And when I finally see daylight in this town I'm washed away. Cause these nights of austin Just fade in and out It's like I've never seen no daylight in this town
