I'm in the city of Austin,
Texas now Trying to get ahold of you The sun, it comes a'rising over the interstate highway
But I'm hiding in my hotel room I'm in the city of Austin,
Texas now And I'm trying to get over you In the morning
I'll be boarding
The southbound
Greyhound bus
To San Antonio
And the bats asleep
Beneath the bridge on
Congress Street Will be the only ones who hear my song
Who hear my song
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh
I'm in the city of Austin, Texas now Trying to forget about you It's been two weeks since I last laid my eyes on you, darling
But when I close them I can still hear you move I can still hear you move
And the bats asleep
Beneath the bridge on
Congress Street
Will be the only ones who hear my song Who hear my song
My friends believe
I'll leave a trail of broken hearts
Along the freeway
My family don't even know I'm gone There's five thousand miles
Of dust and water now lying between us And I swear to you that I can feel each one I can feel each one
And the bats asleep
Beneath the bridge on
Congress Street
And the bats asleep
Beneath the bridge on
Congress Street
And the bats asleep
Beneath the bridge on
Congress Street
Will be the only ones who hear my song Who hear my song
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh
