There's a girl waiting for me in Austin
        A7
She knows I'm coming through today
        G
She's waiting to see if I'll stop by
        Bm            A7          D
Waits to see what I have to say

        D
There's a strong wind blowing in Austin
        A7
Strange for this time of year
        G
So I wonder if it's not a message of sorts
        Bm             A7          D
Something that I should hear
        Bm            A7          D
A message I'm supposed to hear
        D
My head says keep on blowing
        A7
My heart says you're out of your mind
        G
Enoughs enough you're only just so tough
        Bm              A7           D
You need to learn to read the signs
        D
Of a road that's going nowhere
        A7
Just leading you around the bend
        G
To where another bend waits again
        Bm           A7    D
Just like every other time
        Bm          A7     D
Just like every other time

Instrumental:
        D
As a poet and a dreamer
        A7
Who part-times as a fool
        G
You can't ignore the unexplored
        Bm              A7            D
You can't live with what might have been
        D
Well, there's a might have been in Austin
        A7
And though it hasn't happened yet
        G
It's more a question of when this time
        Bm        A7    D
And less a question if
        Bm        A7    G
Yeah, it's less a question if

        Bm              A7
Those might have beens and those then agains
        G                  D
Can sure push and pull and can tear you
        Bm      A7
And hinting winds and those hidden bends
        G       D
Can sure leave your compass a    mess
        Bm      A7
But if the to and fro ever let you go
        G       D/F#    Em
The shock would surely kill you
        Bm
So you  just move on
        A7      D
Cause it's all you've ever known
