Lyrics Austin - Matthew Logan Vasquez

You wound me in,
In my earlier years,
I was too young to fear,
The danger was near,
Not born but raised,
In the mid-90's rage,
In my suburban cage,
Just south of the lake,
We snuck out so late,
And we ran from the cops,
We hid in the church,
My father was mad,
We climbed on the roof,
Watched the morning appear,
This slick country view,
Can hold on to you,
When something went wrong,
They fell out of love,
Then ran out of cash,
They were trying their best,
The children went west,
To the Valley of Death,
Not knowing a thing,
The jock and I ran,
They arrived at the coast,
My brother and I,
Too Texas to hide,
Still cuts in out eyes,
Well it was sink or swim,
And I sank like a stone,
Back to Austin I went,
To my grandmothers' home,
It was just out of reach,
One high school away,
I felt so alone,
I felt so alone,
I made that red headed girl cry,
I told her God was dead,
That it was all in her head,
I felt so alone,
The next day was black,
From the drugs that I ate,
The whole trip finally peaked,
The devil in me,
I crawled so far inside,
There we were eye to eye,
The demons and me,
We were thinking the same thing,
My daddy arranged,
Me put on a plane,
Our son's lost his way,
In Jesus' name,
I fell into Grace,
My demons and me,
Would stand in the light,
I promised to keep,
Then I grew to a man,
This light had fallen dim,
I run through the Earth,
Not giving a shit,
Like a ghost from the past,
Somehow she saw me,
And everyone that I've been,
She put them back into reach,
I met her by chance,
In a Fresno bar,
She pulled me right out of the pit,
With love and hide in her heart,
With my coat overflowin',
Back to Austin we go,
The city has changed,
And so have I,
But it has never left my mind,
The holliest Commanche hills,
The cedar smell, the midnight thrill,
Oh, still don't let me go,
Oh, still don't let me go,
Oh, still don't let me go,
Oh, still don't let me go,
