Austin Lyrics
She left without leaving 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 answerin' machine
Is what she got:
If you're callin' about the car
I sold it
If this is Tuesday night
I'm bowlin'
If you got something to sale
You're wastin' your time
I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else
Wait for the tone
You know what to do
And 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
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 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 afteroon
And PS
If this is Austin:
I still love you
Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone
And Sunday evening
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
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 answerin' machine
Is what she got:
I sold it
If this is Tuesday night
I'm bowlin'
If you got something to sale
You're wastin' your time
I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else
Wait for the tone
You know what to do

If this is Austin:

And I still love you
I still love you

i think she went to Austin..he just called her Austin..like i know somebody from Ohio and i call him Ohio..just my opinion
Dumb as a bag of hammers. Get over it and move on...
Whats so dumb about a bag of hammers
Whats so dumb about a bag of hammers
this song means a lot to me and my fiancee. he left me and we didnt talk for like 2 or 3 months and i called his cell and his voice mail was him saying he was sorry and he loved me so when he called back i let my machine pick up and he left a message with this song on it and i cried. we're back together and getting married soon...i cant wait!!! i love you john!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with dork alert, she went to Austin and he knew that, so he just said "If this is Austin" because she'd know what he meant if she called and also probably because no one else would know he was talking about her if they got his answering machine. Kind of like a privacy thing.
Its not private when everyone knows

It's a lovely song and a very original idea. The only niggle I have with it is the last verse. How does she know it's him calling? It would have been a nasty twist if there'd been another verse on the end "I'm flattered Mam but please you know I'm married with kids, Do you always come on to the gas men like this?" hehe
But that's just me being cheeky. It's a great song by Blake :)
lol good one

This is such an awesome song... just like belle said its about 2 people who find out they are still in love after so much time apart. This song makes me teary when I hear it.
