Hung Up On You Lyrics

Hung Up On You lyrics




While I down Kentucky bourbon

I am waiting for a call

And the moon and stars tonight

Are playing shadows on the wall



With the moon the way it is, dear

Would you answer out of spite

Or are you feeling lonely tonight



Cause I remember last time

We were out under the stars

Driving crooked down the highway

Drinking beer in roadside bars



And now and then I wonder

Why this painful memory

Can never find its way to you from me



And I can't dial the phone just now

Even though I know your number

Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue

Like you did today

You'll say goodbye the same old way

Ever since you hung up on me

I'm hung up on you



Well the house I'm ringing up from

Is a half a mile from you

But with the reception I'm getting

Might as well be Timbuktu



And behind the door of your home

Is a strange and foreign land

Where you speak a language I don't understand



And I can't dial the phone just now

Even though I know your number

Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue

Like you did today

You'll say goodbye the same old way

Ever since you hung up on me

I'm hung up on you



Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar

Like a thousand other times

With an appetite for poison

And a suitcase full of dimes



And I'll wait there by the payphone

With one hundred other guys

With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes



And I can't dial the phone just now

Even though I know your number

Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue

Like you did today

You'll say goodbye the same old way

Ever since you hung up on me

I'm hung up on you
