Dad's Old Number - Live at Joe's

I'm sorry man, don't hang up, no I ain't sellin' nothin'
I don't know what I was thinkin' when I called, I guess I wasn't
Yeah I was just down on my luck
Having some trouble with this old truck
And the guy that used to pick up, he could fix anything

Sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when
life gets tough or when I brave storms
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me, in case you wondered, you've got dad's old number

I learned it by heart when I was six, he never did change it
I've called it in trouble with good and
bad news and break ups, yeah you name it
Sure I've got some friends I can call
And they're always there if I need to talk
But good as they are it ain't their fault, sometimes I just need him

And sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when
life gets tough or when I brave storms
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me, in case you wondered, you've got dad's old number

So I apologize in advance
'Cause there's a damn good chance
When I meet that girl, get that job
And I need to tell my best friend
You're probably gonna hear from me again

'Cause sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when
life gets tough or when I brave storms
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me,
in case you wondered, yeah, you've got dad's old number
My dad's old number
