Telephone Romeo

We kept part and connected by the same stretch of road

And IÂ'm tired of packinÂ' round this heavy load

It started out a stream but then the levee fell

When the rain maker had some extra seeds to sell

Well I just thought id call and see whatÂ's going on

Did the hill country flatten out since IÂ've been gone

Are the fields all painted up in red and blue

Are you thinking of me the times IÂ'm thinking of you

Chorus

Well I just wanna drink Â'til IÂ'm not thirsty

And I just wanna sleep Â'til IÂ'm not tired

I just wanna drive till I run out of money

I donÂ't wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire

Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous

The Yanks are in town and we got nothing to do

YouÂ're neighbors are gone and youÂ're feeling alone

You canÂ't kiss somebody on the telephone

Did you go out last night and was it just a friend

Would you care if I showed up there at 6:00 am

Drive all day with the top pulled down

We could stay in all night or we could paint the town

Chorus

I guess I better go now itÂ's getting too late

ThereÂ's a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break

I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon

Maybe later on this afternoon

Chorus
