Homelessness In Austin
Carolyn Wonderland

About to be my birthday, last one of my twenties

Guess you'd say I'm rich except for the lack of money

My bank account's as barren as my stomach today

But there's some dog food, so the little pup's okay


These warm November mornings

let me know I'm in the South

But homelessness in Austin leaves

the same taste in my mouth


Busking down on sixth street, trying to earn a dollar

Banging on my six-string, to be heard I have to holler

The same folks who'd pay to see me in some club

Won't look me in the eye nor show me any love


These cold December evenings

tell me what I'm all about

But homelessness in Austin leaves

the same taste in my mouth


It's oddly bittersweet


this freedom on the street

where there's no money left to be spent

on luxuries like all that rent

I guess that's just the way it's got to be

in the live music capitol city


Other places that I could have picked to land

Just a change of scenery when you're living out your van

I love Austin and I'm here to write my songs

But the cops call it loitering, so I'm asked to move along


That's not the hospitality

that I associate with the South

and homelessness in Austin leaves

the same taste in my mouth


makes me want to spit it out
