Woke up in California

about

This is our story....we played together as kids in Austin,Tx. in the late 80's and early 90's. Shawn went back to California, Bryan and Paul stayed in Austin. Twenty years later thanks to technology we are able to make music again even though we are still separated by half a continent. Oh yea, Paul really did have an old red pickup that we used to get our equipment to gigs!

lyrics

Where do we go from here?
What have I done?
Seems like everything around me
Has either faded or disappeared
Let me steady my hand
Hell if I know
Why these words they don’t unwind me
After twenty goddamn years

Let me know Have you heard this all before?
An original line I can’t find
Help me mend this broken rhyme
Now out of time

Hey you,
I woke up in California
Hey you,
do you remember those Austin city nights?
Hey you,
Knew more about me than I knew myself
But at the time Artistic license was going nowhere

Isn’t this all for show?
And how would we know?
Is there any chance of finding
New inspiration here?
Let me steady my pace
Cause the faster I go
The harder I try the more I seem to travel back in time

Let me know
Have you heard this all before
An original line I can't find
Help me mend this broken rhyme
Still out of time

Hey you,
I woke up in California
Hey you,
Are you still doing those Austin city nights
Hey you,
I learned more about me as I grew older
But at the time Friends for life are the ones we screw over
Hey you,
I woke up in California
Could we be doing those Austin city nights?
Hey you,
now down on 6th it feels a whole lot colder
And at the light the red truck dies
Or it’s getting pulled over?
