We left Texas on a windy night In a beat-up Chevy van We loaded it up with our innocent dreams And all the love we had We didn't know then how hard it was Livin' on our own I'd find her cryin' late at night Talkin' to the folks back home I wonder what went wrong And where is she now I'd love to know I bet Amy's back in Austin Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe I remember the night we lost it And the day she went away Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma I don't know but it don't feel right I bet Amy's back in Austin And I'm missin' her tonight Workin' ten hours in a West Coast sun Can make the days so long And watchin' the moon crashin' into the ocean Alone sure gets old I remember how sweet it was Where is she now I need to know I bet Amy's back in Austin Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe I remember the night we lost it And the day she went away Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma I don't know but it don't feel right I bet Amy's back in Austin And I'm missin' her tonight Could this desert wind Carry me back again With my heart in my hand Baby, baby I'm missin' you Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma I don't know but it don't feel right I bet Amy's back in Austin And I'm missin' her missin' her tonight Oh I bet Amy's back in Austin I bet Amy's back in Austin I bet Amy's back in Austin I bet Amy's back in Austin I bet Amy's back in Austin I bet Amy's back in Austin
