Lyrics
Intro
Mmmm-hmm... (baby, baby)
Steel guitar twang
Verse 1
I'm standing at this payphone
With empty pockets all alone
Got your number in my hand
But I can't make that phone call, I understand
Chorus
Can't even call collect no more
Can't even call collect no more
Baby, I'm just too poor to ring your door
Can't even call collect no more
Verse 2
These quarters in my pocket
Won't buy me time to talk it
Through with you tonight
'Cause this new world ain't treating me right
Rap
Now listen here baby, let me break it down for you straight
I got no cell phone service and my wallet's lost some weight
Tried to catch you online but my internet done ran dry
Standing at this payphone booth just watching time pass by
Remember when we'd talk all night, operator standing by
Now everything's digital and I'm analog, that ain't no lie
Used to dial zero-zero just to hear your sweet hello
Now I'm stuck here silent 'cause I ain't got no way to go
Times are changing fast and I'm moving way too slow
Missing you so bad but got no way to let you know
Standing on this corner where we used to meet and greet
Now it's just me and this dead phone, alone here on the street
Solo
Steel guitar break
Chorus
Can't even call collect no more
Can't even call collect no more
Baby, I'm just too poor to ring your door
Can't even call collect no more
Outro
Ooooh, can't call... (can't even call)
No more... (no more, baby)
Mmmm-hmm...
Mmmm-hmm... (baby, baby)
