In this poignant narrative, Dasha explores themes of betrayal and abandonment as she recounts the painful experience of a planned joint escape that never materializes. The lyrics convey a deep sense of disillusionment and heartbreak, accentuated by vivid imagery of unfulfilled promises and deserted scenes. As the protagonist waits in vain for her partner, her discovery of his absence—and the lack of preparation for their shared dream—signals a deeper deceit. 🚗💔 The repeated inquiries about the reasons behind the betrayal ("Did your boots stop workin'? Did your truck break down?") not only reflect her confusion but also her struggle to make sense of the sudden shift in their relationship dynamic. Ultimately, the song is a lament over lost love and missed opportunities, with a resolution to move forward while consigning memories to oblivion back in Austin.
Austin
Lyrics
We had a plan, move out of this town, baby
West to the sand, it's all we talked about lately
I'd pack the car, bring your guitar and Jane for smokin'
First thing at dawn you'd queue the songs and we'd get goin'
But you weren't home, waited on the porch for ya
Sat there alone, all throughout the morn' 'til I
Got a hunch down in my gut and snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed
Did your boots stop workin'?
Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)
Where there's a will, then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowin'?
Were you in a fight? (In a fight)
Did the nerves come get you?
What's your alibi? (Alibi)
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years, you'll still be here
Drunk, washed up in Austin
Hell of bluff, you had me believin'
How many months did you plan on leavin'?
What happened? Bad habits?
Did you go back? Go batshit?
I loved you, how tragic, oh-oh
Did your boots stop workin'?
Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)
Where there's a will, then there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowin'?
Were you in a fight? (In a fight)
Did the nerves come get you?
What's your alibi? (Alibi)
I made my way back to LA
And that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years, you'll still be here
Drunk, washed up in Austin
Did your truck break down?
Did you ex find out?
