Comal County Blue

I guess it finally rained
It's down to 85
I bet the fish are biting
Down by the riverside
And it's the only place made colder
Around here in the middle of June
By the endless string of strangers
Brought by the summer moon
My brother moved off to Houston
And most my friends stay gone
I need to pay my taxes
I don't like to mow my lawn
I have a harmless habit
Being fine wherever I am
But the way this waters rising
I need to get up above the dam
Chorus
- Tonight I'm rolling up north
Back to where I pay the due
Tonight the answers Austin
For the Comal County Blue. -
There's one rolled in my ash tray
I'm taking Hunter Road
Out by Riley's Tavern
Where my liquor love to flow
We'll skip around San Marcos
Stop and tell Doug hello
2nd gear up Congress
You know I like to take it slow
Chorus
- Tonight I'm rolling up north
Back to where I pay the due
Tonight the answers Austin
For the Comal County Blue. -
The one right beside me
Helped me make it through that town
We moved out to the country
Then we bought a wedding gown
But we still know our ways
We learned those lessons well
Back around the turn of the century
From a one room roadside cell
Chorus
- Yah, Tonight I'm rolling up north
Back to where I pay the due
Tonight the answers Austin
For the Comal County Blue. -
Chorus
- Ohh, Tonight I'm rolling up north
Back to where I pay the due
Sometimes the only answers Austin
For the Comal County Blue. -
