Austin lyrics

She left without leaving a number

said she needed to clear her mind

he figured she'd gone back to Austin

'cause she talked about it all the time.

It was almost a year before she called him up

three rings and an answering machine

it's what she got.

If you're calling 'bout the car I sold it

if this Tuesday night I'm bowling

if you got something to sell

you're wasting your time,

I'm not buying.

If it's anybody else,

wait for the tone,

you know what to do

And P.S., if this is Austin

I still love you

The telephone fell to the counter.

She heard but couldn't believe it.

What kind of man would hang on that long?

What kind of love that must be?

She waited three days and then she tried again

she didn't know what she'd say

but she heard three rings and then:

If it's Friday night I'm at the ball game

and first thing Saturday if it don't rain

I'm headed up to the lake

and I'll be gone all weekend long

but I'll call you back when I get home

on Sunday afternoon.

And P.S., if this is Austin

I still love you.

Well, this time she left her number

but not another word

then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening

and this is what he heard:

If you're calling 'bout my heart is still yours

I should've listened to it a little more

then it wouldn't have taken me so long

to know where I belong

An by the way boy,

this is no machine you're talking to

Can't you tell?

This is Austin and I still love you

I still love you
