I came out here trying to make a dent Trying to soothe my discontent L.A. wasn't worth the rent I was paying You'd love the fall in Tennessee All the red and golden leaves Maybe you can come visit me Just end up staying Chorus: Can you pick up the phone, are you ever home? Can't you hear it ringing baby, doggone All you ever say is the same ol' thing "I'll call you right back, leave your number and your name." You're way out there, and I'm way out here Trying to get these dreams of mine in gear How I'd love to hear you say you love me too But I keep on missing you I keep on missing you Cooking up some mac and cheese Watching three channel TV It ain't exactly easy street I'm living on Some people think that I'm pretty good Like you always said they would I'm putting heart and soul to strings and wood I'd tell you 'bout it baby if I could Chorus: Can you pick up the phone, are you ever home? Can't you hear it ringing baby, doggone All you ever say is the same ol' thing "I'll call you right back, leave your number and your name." You're way out there, and I'm way out here Trying to get these dreams of mine in gear How I'd love to hear you say you love me too But I keep on missing you I keep on missing you {x2} I keep on missing you
