She left without leavin a number. Said she needed to clear her mind. He figured she'd gone back to bernalillo cuz she talked about it all the time. It was almost 6 months before she called him up. 4 rings and an answering machine is what she got. If your callin bout the couch I sold it. If its Thursday night I'm sleepin. If you've got somethin to sell your wastin your time I cant buy it. If its anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do. An p.s. if this is bernalillo I still love you.
The telephone fell from the counter. She heard but she couldn't believe. What kinda man would hang on that long. What kind of love he must be. She waited 6 days then she tried again. She didn't know what she'd say. But she heard 4 rings again. If its Friday night I'm at the state fair. And first thing Saturday if it dont rain I'll be headed out to socorro. And I'll be gone all weekend long. But I'll call you back when I get home Sunday evenin. And p.s. if this is bernalillo I still love you.
This time she left a number. But not another word. Then waited by the phone on Sunday evenin an this is what he heard. If your callin bout my heart it's always been yours. I should've listened to it a little more. An it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong. An by the way babe this is no machine your talkin to cant you tell this is bernalillo an I still love you. I still love you.
