Austin

She left without leavin' a number

Said she needed to clear her mind

He figured she'd gone back to Austin

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 callin' about the car I sold it

If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling

You've got somethin' to sell

You're wastin' your time I'm not buyin'

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 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 ballgame

And first thing 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

P S if this is Austin

I still love you

This time she left her number

But not another word

Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'

And this is what he heard

If you're callin' about my heart it's 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

And by the way boy

This is no machine you're talkin' to

Can't you tell this is Austin

And I still love you

I still love you
