Biography:
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Austin Lucas was taught how to sing by his musician father Robert Lucas before he could even speak. At home or in the car, his family would sing and make music. They would travel throughout the summertime to folk, bluegrass and old time music festivals where his father would perform every year.
As Lucas became old enough to attend school, he also was sent to the Indiana University Children's Choir to hone his gift of singing.

Austin Lucas - Go West
Standard E-tuning
Capo V (but i play it with Capo II, sounds better i think)
Intro: D
F#m
Oh no malice does exist
Bm G
in these words I am now writing
Em
Although one might catch
A
the faintest glance at sorrow
Bm
I'm but trying hard to grasp
G
all these fragments as they're passing
Em
Piece the puzzle now
A
before the trail grows cold
G
And I'm not asking for the answers
F#m
in mathematical equations
Em D
to be culled and calculated
G
by unbiased hands
G
For at truth I am so stricken
A
And I dare only to forever dance
D G
Which proves I am the better broken half
A D
Oh and I am but the bitter better half
Bridge: D (play Intro and some tricky hammers :-) )
D F#m
In my callous speculations
Bm G
They leave no room for calm or reason
Em A
I have placed myself in altars that are hollow
Bm
So adept at finding weakness
G
I smell fear and close my fists
Em A
Unaware the stench I'm smelling is my own
G
So yeah, you left me and I'm bitter
F#m
And my pride is shocked and raw
E G
For I believe I will be changing roads no more
G
I know that life is full of dead ends
A
But I saw us as a highway
D G
Ever stretching on from coast to golden coast
A
Oh, but now instead I'm singin'
Refrain:
D A
Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
F#m
So with no malice I'll begin
Bm G
just once more to tell our story
Em A
Though the ending I may never hope to know
Bm
You were a sweet and sound companion
G
Though our paths led us apart
Em A
And I may never sleep so soundly as I did while in your arms
G F#m
Now all I ask is you remember who you loved and who you lost
Em D
Please don't bury me in silence
G
Or blackest shroud of thought
G A
Don't pretend that what we had was any less than what it was
D G
For I will not soon be forgetting the reasons why
A
we fought so hard to make it work
Refrain:
D A
But Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
to watch you leave
D A
Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
