The Call

I ain't gettin' younger

I sure ain't gettin' wiser

Hell, I think it's the other way around

I took on some new things

And gave up a few things

Just to get my feet back on the ground

And I quit the drinkin'

The drinkin' for fun

And now it's just something I do

When that morning sun cuts through the blinders

I start my day thinking of you

Oh, if I get the call

From up there in the clouds

I hope I get to see you

Hope you never settle down

And, yeah, I know you're just a wild as you used to be

And we'll pick up where we left off

Make some new old memories

I still hear the phone ringing

And to my knees I fall

I swear that I won't ever forget that call

I can hear your mama cryin'

And hear your daddy lyin'

Saying he's gonna be alright

You left behind some good friends

Left behind some weekends

We'll pick up on when we meet again

Oh, if I get the call

From up there in the clouds

I hope I get to see you

Hope you never settle down

And, yeah, I know you're just a wild as you used to be

And we'll pick up where we left off

Make some new old memories

I still hear the phone ringing

And to my knees I fall

I swear that I won't ever forget that

I'll run down to the creek

And out past the pines

Where the trees open up to a hell of a view

I'll watch that ball of fire sink into nothing

And all I think about is you

Oh, if I get the call

From up there in the clouds

I hope I get to see you

Hope you never settle down

And, yeah, I know you're just a wild as you used to be

And we'll pick up where we left off

Make some new old memories

I still hear the phone ringing

And to my knees I fall

I swear that I won't ever forget that call
