Austin
Blake Shelton Lyrics

She left without leavin' a number
She left without giving her contact information

Said she needed to clear her mind
She expressed that she needed to focus on her thoughts

He figured she'd gone back to Austin
Assuming what was talked about before, he presumed she went back to Austin

'Cause she talked about it all the time
She most frequently mentioned Austin

It was almost a year before she called him up
Nearly a year passed before she reached out

Three rings and an answering machine is what she got
There were three rings from the phone and then she heard the answering machine

If your callin' 'bout the car, I sold it
The car is no longer available for sale

If this is Tuesday night, I'm bowlin'
It's currently Tuesday night and the person is playing bowling

If you've got somethin' to sell your wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'
There is no interest in buying anything

If it's anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do
Unknown or unwanted callers should wait for the beep to leave a message

And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you
By the way, if the caller is the person from Austin, then they should know that the singer still loves them

The telephone fell to the counter
The phone was accidentally dropped on the counter

She heard but she couldn't believe
She could hear the singer's voice but she was somewhat in disbelief

What kind of man would hang on that long
She wondered what type of man would be so persistent

What kind of love that must be
This type of love seems strong and meaningful

She waited three days and then she tried again
Three days later, she made another attempt to contact the artist

She didn't know what she'd say
She had no plan or idea of how to approach the conversation

But she heard three rings and then
After three rings from the phone, she heard a response

If it's Friday night, I'm at the ball game
On Friday nights, the person goes to the ball game

And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain
As a first priority on Saturdays, if there is no precipitation, the person goes out to the lake

I'm headed out to the lake and I'll be gone all weekend long
The person will be spending the entire weekend at the lake

But I'll call you back when I get home on Sunday afternoon
After returning home on Sunday, the artist will make another phone call

And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you
In addition, if the caller is the person from Austin, then they should know that the singer still loves them

Well, this time she left her number
This time, she gave the artist her phone number

But not another word
Other than her number, she didn't say anything else

Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening
On Sunday evening, she waited by her phone for a response

And this is what he heard
This is what the singer said when he answered the phone

If your callin' 'bout my heart, it's still yours
The artist still loves the caller

I should've listened to it a little more
The person wishes they would have paid more attention to their heart

Then it wouldn't have taken me so long
If they had only listened to their heart more, things could have been resolved sooner

To know where I belong
To realize where the person truly belongs

And by the way, boy, this is no machine your talkin' to
The artist is reminding the caller that they are having a real conversation, not with an answering machine

Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you
Clearly, the artist is in Austin and still has feelings for the caller

I still love you
The artist reiterates that they still love the person on the other end of the phone
