Thinkin' of Austin is a slow-burn traditional country ballad about the ache that never quite leaves — seven years of rose-colored glasses, bourbon nights, and a road she never let herself take. When Austin finally shows up at her door, she's got one decision left to make. A classic-style heartache song about restraint, temptation, and the doors we swear we'll never open again. - Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Somebody's knocking, but I don't move

Rose colored glasses hide what's true

Thinkin' of Austin and a road I never took

Drinking and dreaming, wishing I was someone new

[Verse 2]

I used to be his Copenhagen Angel

Before I reached the bourbon borderline

Now I think about Jackson

And the Grand Tour of emotion

[Chorus]

Heaven's just a sin away

When I've been on a seven year ache

Tryin' to fight the feelin' of one more lonely mistake

And Austin's at my door again

Wonderin' if I'll let him in

Standin' here, about to give in

[Verse 3]

I open up the door and there he stands

Rose colored glasses, road map in his hands

Seven years of silence, standin' in his eyes

One More Honest Night, or just another set of lies

[Chorus]

Heaven's just a sin away

When I've been on a seven year ache

Tryin' to fight the feelin' of one more lonely mistake

And Austin's at my door again

Wonderin' if I'll let him in

Standin' here, about to give in

[Bridge]

I know what I should do

I know what's smart, what's right

But I've been so damn lonely

Longer than these seven years of night

Maybe love just takes its time

Maybe some doors were made to open twice

[Outro]

Door's wide open, I'm not movin' first

Seven years of achin', now who's gonna say the words

Rose colored glasses on the ground

I'm just standin' here, waitin' for the sound

[End]
