Tom T. Hall - Tulsa Telephone Book lyrics

Have you read any good telephone books lately? If you ain't then let me recommend one I've already read that tulsa telephone book through thirteen times If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun Readin' that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name I gotta find her and tell her, i don't want our love to end So i'm readin' that tulsa telephone book again Well, i was in tulsa and didn't have anything goin' She lived in tulsa and didn't have anything on She said, "my name is shirley," and i said, "my name is t." I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone All of the tulsa operators know my voice now And they gotta know how long i've been alone If you meet a girl named shirley with some ribbons in her hair Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone Readin' that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name I gotta find her and tell her, i don't want our love to end So i'm readin' that tulsa telephone book again I'm readin' that tulsa telephone book again
