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 somethin' I do And when that mornin' sun cuts through the blinders I start my day thinkin' 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 as 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 ringin', 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' Sayin', "He's gonna be alright" You left behind some good friends and 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 as 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 ringin', 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 nothin' And all I'll 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 as 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 ringin', and to my knees I fall I swear that I won't ever forget that call
