While I down Kentucky bourbon
I am waiting for a call
And the moon and stars tonight

Are playing shadows on the wall

With the moon the way it is, dear

Would you answer out of spite
Or are you feeling lonely tonight


Cause I remember last time
We were out under the stars
Driving crooked down the highway

Drinking beer in roadside bars

And now and then I wonder

Why this painful memory
Can never find its way to you from me


And I can't dial the phone just now
Even though I know your number
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue

Like you did today
You'll say goodbye the same old way
Ever since you hung up on me

I'm hung up on you

Well the house I'm ringing up from

Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu


And behind the door of your home
Is a strange and foreign land

Where you speak a language I don't understand

And I can't dial the phone just now

Even though I know your number
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
Like you did today

You'll say goodbye the same old way
Ever since you hung up on me
I'm hung up on you


Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
Like a thousand other times

With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes


And I'll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes


And I can't dial the phone just now
Even though I know your number

Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
Like you did today
You'll say goodbye the same old way

Ever since you hung up on me
I'm hung up on you
