Dad's Old Number

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
