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
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
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
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
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
