Ron McKernan - Operator lyrics

[Verse] Operator, can you help me, help me if you please Give me the right area code and the number that I need My rider left upon the midnight flyer Singing like a summer breeze I think shes somewhere down South, down about Baton Rouge But i just can't remember no number, a number I can use Directory don't have it, central done forgot it I've gotta find a number to use Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line Operator said that's privileged information And it ain't no business of mine Its flooding down in Texas, poles are out in Utah Gotta find a private line She could be hanging round the steel mill Working in a house of blue lights Riding a getaway bus out of Portland, talking to the night I don't know where shes going, I don't care where shes been Long as she's doing it right Long as shes doing it right
