Description
I miss the days of simple songs that tell a story. This is my take on a blues-based americana tune. All my favourite things are included on this track. Handclaps, slide guitar, big solos, vocal breakdowns, telephone effects, you name it, I stuck it in there. This is blue collar rock as I imagine it.
Lyrics
Got a couple quarters to rub together But not near enough to get me outta this weather So I’m huddled up at a pay telephone And dreaming of being dry as a bone It’s a stroke of luck to find myself in this city Cuz I’ve thought of a way to make it a bit less shitty From what I recall you make your home here now So I’m looking you up and patting my hair down Hello darlin, it’s been a long time How’s life treatin’ ya, hope you’re doing just fine No I don’t got no job, I’m outta doors Making ends meet by playing some chords One bar to the next, in cities and towns Got my guitar, baby, got some fancy licks down Just passing through and thought I’d pass on by What do you say to givin it a try I always thought that you were hung up on me But when I put it to the test, you hung up on me I guess I got that wrong I had this hidden hope that you were hung up me But you put it to rest when you hung up on me Couldn’t even say so long Dial me a zero and say “Operator Get me my baby, cuz sooner or later She’ll come around and let me come ‘round We’ll chat it up and toss some whiskey down” The phone rings twice and she asks real nice I got a rock n roller on the line wanna give him a try You pitched yourself a fit and slammed the receiver But baby I’ma turn you into a believer I always thought that you were hung up on me But when I put it to the test, you hung up on me I guess I got that wrong I had this hidden hope that you were hung up me But you put it to rest when you hung up on me Couldn’t even say so long I always thought that you were hung up on me But when I put it to the test, you hung up on me I guess I got that wrong I’m wishing now that you were hung up me But you put it to rest when you hung up on me Couldn’t even say so long
