Dad's Old Number

I'm sorry, ma'am, don't hang up

Naw, I ain't sellin' nothin'

I don't know what I was thinking

When I called

I guess I wasn't

Yeah, I was just down on my luck

Havin' some trouble with this old truck

And the guy that used to pick up

He could fix anything

Sometimes I forget

These 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then

I dial 'em up when life get's tough

Or when the Braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang-ups

Early mornin' and late night wake-ups

It was just me

In case you're wonderin'

You've got dad's old number

I learned it by heart when I was 6

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

And 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 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then

I dial 'em up when life get's tough

Or when The Braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang-ups

Early mornin' and late night wake-ups

It was just me

In case you're wonderin'

You've got dad's old number

So, I apologize in advance

'Cause there's a damn good chance

When I meet that girl

Get that job

And I need to tell my best friend

You're probably gonna hear from me again

'Cause sometimes I forget

These 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then

I dial 'em up when life get's tough

Or when the Braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang-ups

Early mornin' and late night wake-ups

It was just me

In case you wonder, yeah

You've got dad's old number
