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 bowlin' 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 PS 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 must that 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 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 PS If this is Austin, I still love you
This time she left her number And not another word 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
