I'm sorry ma'am, don't hang up, no I ain't sellin' nothin'

I don't know what I was thinkin' when I called, I guess I wasn't

Yeah I was just down on my luck

Having some trouble with this old truck

And the guy that used to pick up, he could fix anything.

Sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups

It was just me, in case you wondered, you've got dad's old number.

I learned it by heart when I was six, 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 ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups

It was just me, in case you wondered, 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 ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore

Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the braves score

Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups

It was just me, in case you wondered, yeah, you've got dad's old number

My dad's old number.
