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 x 4)

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 x 8)

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh x 4)
