Long Gone To Austin(Chords)

	        
        A                                      D               E              A   
Well, I spilled my coffee on the Sunday paper, I feel a Monday morning coming on 
        E                                      D             E                 A  
Yeah, I knew it?d hit me sooner or later, this crazy, lonely feeling I don?t belong 
E                                      D              A  
This old job is just a job, and that?s all it?s gonna be 
E                                       D                A 
But I know a town that can offer me the things I need to see 
         A                                D             E                A 
They can talk about us all they want, but come tomorrow morning we?ll be gone 
 
         D    E       A 
We?ll be long gone to Austin 
     D               E             A  
This big city life?s really got me down 
D    E       A       D 
Long gone to Austin alone 
      D               E                 A 
Hell, we ain?t got no ties left in this town
 
 
 
Now tomorrow I?ll hand them my walking papers, grab my check then it?s all said and done 
No gold watch, no last minute favors, just open the gate and, Baby, watch us run 
Well I never fit in and I think it?s a sin, the way they treated me 
But I know a town that can offer me the things I need to see 
And we?ll be there without a care before they realize that we?re gone 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Now you get a pen and I?ll get a paper, we?re gonna sit down and write ourselves a song 
Gonna take a little chance on a two-step dancing, kick your heels up and maybe they?ll sing along 
This old road?s going to take us down to a place I want to be, to a town I know they can 
offer me the things I need to see 
By the time they finally realize this song?s worth hearing, Baby, we?ll be gone 
 
Chorus
