Speaker A
She said she needed to clear her mind.
Speaker A
He figured she'd gone back to Austin, 'cause she talked about it all the time.
Speaker A
Three rings and an answering machine is what she got.
Speaker A
If you're calling about the car I sold, if this is Tuesday night and bowling.
Speaker A
If you got something to sell, you're wasting your time, I'm not buying.
Speaker A
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone, you know what to do.
Speaker A
And PS, if this is Austin, I still love you.
Speaker A
The telephone fell to the counter, she heard but she couldn't believe.
Speaker A
What kind of man would hang on that long, what kind of love that must be.
Speaker A
She didn't know what she'd say, but she heard three rings and then.
Speaker A
If it's Friday night, I'm at the ball game and first thing Saturday.
Speaker A
If it don't rain, I'm headed out to the lake and I'll be gone all weekend long.
Speaker A
But I'll call you back when I get home on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker A
And PS, if this is Austin, I still love you.
Speaker A
This time she left her number, but not another word.
Speaker A
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening and this is what he heard.
Speaker A
If you're calling about my heart, it's still yours, I should have seen to it a little more.
Speaker A
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong.
Speaker A
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talking to.
Speaker A
Can't you tell, this is Austin.
Speaker A
And I still love you.
Speaker A
I still love you.
