Austin Songtext / Lyric

She left without leaving a number
she said she needed to clear her mind
he figured she'd gone back to Austin
because she talked about it all the time

it was almost a year
before she called him up
three rings and an answering machine
is what she got

if you're calling bout the car i sold it
if this is tuesday night im bowlin'
if you got something to sell, you're wastin' your time, i'm not by
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 she couldn't believe,
what kinda men would hang on that long,
what kinda 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 things saturday if it don't rain
i'm headed out 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

this time she left her number,
but not another word,
and she waited by the phone on sunday evening,
and this is what he heard:

If you're callin' but my heart it's still yours,
i should have listened to it a little more,
then it wouldn't have taken me so long,
to know where i belong,
and 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
