The answer to your question is in the documentation:

           main_w, main_h
               main input width and height

           text_w, text_h
               rendered text width and height

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#drawtext-1

There are even examples doing almost what you want:

#  Draw a single green letter "g", at the center of the input video. The
#  glyph baseline is placed at half screen height.
