Goodbye Houston - Austin Collins

Goodbye Houston

You lost your charm

Just the other night

When she asked you to stay to long

You lost your cool

Out in the parking lot

Called me a fool

Now no one’s looking up to you

You should have thought of that before

So we closed the bar

Abusive and without your help

You watched the news

Deciding what was best for you

You went too far

Without going anywhere

The rules have changed

And you’ve created your own truth

You should have thought of that before

All the tilting autumn fences

Last to know what time

Leaning into your defenses

Disappearing lines

I guess you were the pretty one

In your grade-school class

Happy holidays for fun

Just try and make it last

Changing for grins

Made you feel like a movie star

The tread-worn sleeves

And what you said behind the cars

Open ‘til ten

Dictated violently

Can’t find a friend

To show you what you’d rather see

You should have thought of that before
