Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven

Across the water on a seven-fortyseven

And pretty soon sheʼs really got the notion
Bm G
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
D Bm A D D Bm G A
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:

Talk is cheap on satellite

Information, Iʼm still here
G A
Re-dial on automatic.

Chorus:

Calling America (canʼt get a message through)

Calling America (thatʼs what she said to do)
D G
Calling America (thatʼs where she has to be)

Calling America (she left a number for me)

Verse:
But Iʼm just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.
All I had to do was pick up the phone
Iʼm out in space, trying to talk to someone
D Bm A D 
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Pre-Chorus:
She left a number I could call
But no oneʼs there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on.

Chorus:
Calling America (canʼt get a message through)
Calling America (thatʼs what she said to do)
Calling America (thatʼs where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.

Verse:
Said sheʼd call when sheʼd been gone a while
Guess sheʼs missing me across the miles
Yeah, weʼre living in a modern world.

Chorus:
Calling America (canʼt get a message through)
Calling America (thatʼs what she said to do)
Calling America (thatʼs where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America.
Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America...
