[Verse 1]
Just outside of Austin
I turned on my radio
Tuned it in to a satellite station
She was talkin' on a call-in show
She said it was over, she'd made her choice
Her mind was made up by the sound of her voice

[Chorus]
Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Clear across America tonight

[Verse 2]
Sounded like he really had it comin'
All the times he'd done her wrong
She said, "I hope he's listening"
And hung up the telephone
All of a sudden, I realized
It was me she was telling goodbye

[Chorus]
Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Clear across America tonight
[Bridge]
Hello, DJ, put me on the air
Give me the chance to tell her I still care
Get her back on the line, tell her I'm still in love
Said, "Sorry, son, but you're breaking up"

[Chorus]
Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Across America tonight

Across America tonight
Clear across America tonight
Clear across America tonight
Clear across America tonight...
