Dad's Old Number
Lyrics
I'm sorry ma'am, don't hang up
Nah, I ain't selling nothing
I don't know what I was thinking when I called
I guess I wasn't
Yeah, I was just down on my luck
Having some trouble with this old truck
And the guy that used to pick up
He could fix anything
Sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when the Braves score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was me, in case you wonder
You've got dad's old number
I learned it by heart, when I was six
He never did change it
I've called it in trouble
With good and bad news
And break-ups, yeah you name it
Sure I've got some friends I can call
They're always there if I need to talk
But good as they are, it ain't their fault
Sometimes I just need him
And sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when the Braves score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was just me, in case you wonder
You've got dad's old number
So I apologize in advance
'Cause there's a damn good chance
When I meet that girl
Or get that job
And I need to tell my best friend
You're probably going to hear from me again
'Cause sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when the Braves score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was just me, in case you wonder yeah
You've got dad's old number
Dad's old number
