Telephone Romeo Lyrics

Telephone Romeo lyrics

We kept part and connected by the same stretch of road

And I’m tired of packin’ 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 what’s going on

Did the hill country flatten out since I’ve been gone

Are the fields all painted up in red and blue

Are you thinking of me the times I’m thinking of you



Chorus

Well I just wanna drink ‘til I’m not thirsty

And I just wanna sleep ‘til I’m not tired

I just wanna drive till I run out of money

I don’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

You’re neighbors are gone and you’re feeling alone

You can’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 it’s getting too late

There’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
