Calling out to Carol
She could really twist the screws
What cha doin` Monday
And are you back on the booze?
now I been doin` some thinkin`
`Bout Colorado Springs
A dirty deim jacket, and a seven dollar ring
Well I`ve been keeping busy
I`ve got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who`s that in the background?
I`m sorry that I asked
I guess I should have known
CHORUS
Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin` through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know
When`d you change your number?
Hey, Carol! It`s different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad
But that`s not why I called you up now
You know, I quit the scene
I told ya `bout your pictures
I guess I`ll buy that magazine
And I still remember all those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Sometims I guess that`s the way things go
CHORUS
Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone
Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
Pick up the receiver, love will come and go
`Cause Carol was a girl that everybody got to know
When they called me in the morning
And told me that she`d gone
i didn`t want to hear it
So I just hung up the phone
Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin` through a wall
Is this line in service?
Operator says no
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know
