Once Again in Austin

Verse 1

Red curls in the rearview, blonde at the gate,
Brunette with a suitcase, running late.
Three hearts beat like they always did —
Strangers to time, but not to the kid
Inside each laugh, behind each line,
A lifetime ago, and still just fine.

Pre-Chorus

They've danced through fire, loved through pain,
Tasted loss, drank down the rain.
But some things never lose their flame —
Call their names and they still came.

Chorus

Once again in Austin, boots on the floor,
Laughing like the years ain’t knocked down the door.
One more hurrah, one more ride,
In the city where wild never learned to hide.
The spark, the sparkle, the late-night sin —
This is what forever feels like, again.

Verse 2

Neon signs and cheap perfume,
Stories echo through every room.
They’ve built lives, they’ve chased dreams,
Grown wiser than they used to seem.
But under these stars, they’re twenty-two —
Red, blonde, brunette in worn-out boots.

Bridge

They don’t need much — just a song and some heat,
To remember the girls they swore they’d keep.
Miles may stretch, years may bend,
But this kind of bond, it just won't end.

Chorus

Once again in Austin, hearts unchained,
Burning like the dusk off Lady Bird Lake.
Riding the rhythm of who they were,
Drinking to the days they still prefer.
The spark, the sparkle, the full moon grin —
This is what forever feels like, again.

Outro

So here’s to the fire that distance can't kill,
To women grown wild and wiser still.
They part at dawn with one last spin —
But they'll always find their way back again.
Once again in Austin… and again… and again.
