the call

The Call

I ain’t gettin’ younger, I sure ain’t gettin’ wiser
Hell, I think it’s the other way around
I took on some new things, and gave up a few things
Just to get my feet back on the ground

And I quit the drinkin’, the drinkin’ for fun
And now it’s just something I do
When that morning sun cuts through the blinders
I start my day thinking of you

Oh, if I get the call from up there in the clouds
I hope I get to see you; hope you never settle down
And yeah, I know you’re just a wild as you used to be
And we’ll pick up where we left off make some new old memories
I still hear the phone ringing and to my knees I fall
I swear that I won’t ever forget that call

I can hear your mama cryin’ and hear your daddy lyin’
Saying he’s gonna be alright
You left behind some good friends, left behind some weekends
We’ll pick up on when we meet again

Oh, if I get the call from up there in the clouds
I hope I get to see you; hope you never settle down
And yeah, I know you’re just a wild as you used to be
And we’ll pick up where we left off make some new old memories
I still hear the phone ringing and to my knees I fall
I swear that I won’t ever forget that…

I’ll run down to the creek, and out past the pines
Where the trees open up to a hell of a view
I’ll watch that ball of fire, sink into nothing
And all I think about is you

Oh, if I get the call from up there in the clouds
I hope I get to see you; hope you never settle down
And yeah, I know you’re just a wild as you used to be
And we’ll pick up where we left off make some new old memories
I still hear the phone ringing and to my knees I fall
I swear that I won’t ever forget that call
