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
