She left without leavin'
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 is what she got
If you're callin' 'bout the car
I sold it
If this is Tuesday night
I'm bowling
If 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
And 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' 'bout 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
