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
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh
