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
