Telephone
Call from home
Just to say hello
Got to catch a plane
I can't explain
The car is waiting down below
Somebody get my suitcase
It's nearly all I own
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I wanna go home
New town
Look around
Tryin' to find a friendly face
Sure feel
Like I need a meal
But there's no time to leave this place
Sound test in a concert hall
I think an amp is blown
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I wanna go home
Oh, my Red, play
Yeah, flight two
And it's back to you
So I set my watch on L.A. time
Jet-lag
Find my bag
I think the one over there is mine
It's ten pounds overweight
But it's holdin' all I own
I'm a drummer man in a country band
And man, I'm glad to be home
