Album: Welcome Interstate Managers


          
While I down Kentucky bourbon
     
I am waiting for a call
        
And the moon and stars tonight
            
Are playing shadows on the wall

         
With the moon the way it is, dear
          
Would you answer out of spite
                                  
Or are you feeling lonely tonight

      
Cause I remember last time
        
We were out under the stars
        
Driving crooked down the highway
         
Drinking beer in roadside bars

    
And now and then I wonder
         
Why this painful memory
                                  
Can never find its way to you from me


CHORUS


And I can't dial the phone just now
     
Even though I know your number
                                 
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue

Like you did today
           
You'll say goodbye the same old way

Ever since you hung up on me
               
I'm hung up on you

Well the house I'm ringing up from
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu

And behind the door of your home
Is a strange and foreign land
Where you speak a language I don't understand

CHORUS

Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes

And I'll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes

CHORUS
