Moody song, with blues type sounds. A little rock, a little country, slower than the others, but still has a good pace to it.

I was thinking about moving to Austin, TX, but the thought of living there depressed me. Austin in this song is sort of a metaphor if you will, for things in your life that you wish you hadn't done.

Been to Austin, A time or two ago,
I can't take this anymore, can't take it.
Past lives, and past wives, burnin' a hole in my soul,
Been to Austin...Before.
And freedom sits, at the dock of the bay.
Me and Otis, got much, much, more to say.
So, please forgive me, for talking to you, this way.

Yesteryear, took a look, back, what did I see?
I let my inabilities, get the best of me...get the rest of me? I,
Take it back, take it back, can I get back?
Been to Austin...Before.

Freedom sits, at the dock of the bay.
Me and Otis, got much, much, more to say,
So, please forgive me, for talking to you this way.

(Solo)

Been to Austin, a time or two, ago,
I can't take this anymore, can't take it.
Past lives and Ex wives, burnin' a hole in my soul.
Been to Austin...Before.
