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
3 rings and an answering machine is what she got

If you're calling about the car, I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you got something to sell you're wasting your time
I'm not buying
If its 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 3 days and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say but she heard 3 rings and then....

If its Friday night I'm at the ball game
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

Well this time she left her number but not another word
And then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening
And this is what he heard

If you're calling about my heart its still yours
I should have listened to it a little more
And it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong

And by the way boy this is no machine you're are talking to
Can't ya tell this is Austin and I still love you.
