Verse:
G
While I down Kentucky bourbon
C
I am waiting for a call
D
And the moon and stars tonight
G
Are playing shadows on the wall
G
With the moon the way it is, dear
C
Would you answer out of spite
D G
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
G
Cause I remember last time
C
We were out under the stars
D
Driving crooked down the highway
G
Drinking beer in roadside bars
G
And now and then I wonder
C
Why this painful memory
D G
Can never find its way to you from me
Chorus:
G
And I canʼt dial the phone just now
C
Even though I know your number
D G
Canʼt bring my broken heart to be untrue
G
Like you did today
C
Youʼll say goodbye the same old way
D
Ever since you hung up on me
G
Iʼm hung up on you
Verse:
Well the house Iʼm ringing up from
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception Iʼm 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 donʼt understand
Chorus.
Verse:
Now Iʼm going down to Jimmyʼs bar
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes
And Iʼll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes
Chorus.
