SOL
While I down Kentucky bourbon
DO
I am waiting for a call
RE
And the moon and stars tonight
SOL
Are playing shadows on the wall
SOL
With the moon the way it is, dear
DO
Would you answer out of spite
RE SOL
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
SOL
Cause I remember last time
DO
We were out under the stars
RE
Driving crooked down the highway
SOL
Drinking beer in roadside bars
SOL
And now and then I wonder
DO
Why this painful memory
RE SOL
Can never find its way to you from me
CHORUS
SOL
And I can't dial the phone just now
DO
Even though I know your number
RE SOL
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
SOL
Like you did today
DO
You'll say goodbye the same old way
RE
Ever since you hung up on me
SOL
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
