Dad's Old Number Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry ma'am
Don't hang up
Nah, I ain't selling nothing
I don't know what I was thinking 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

[Chorus]
Sometimes I forget these 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when the Braves score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was me, in case you wonder
You've got dad's old number

[Verse 2]
I learned it by heart, when I was 6
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
They're always there if I need to talk
But good as they are, it ain't their fault
Sometimes I just need him

[Chorus]
And sometimes I forget these 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when I brave score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was just me, in case you wonder
You've got dad's old number

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

[Chorus]
'Cuz sometimes I forget these 10 digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then, I dial 'em up
When life gets tough, or when I brave score
Sorry about the one ring hang-ups
Early morning and late night wake-ups
It was just me, in case you wonder (Yeah)
You've got dad's old number

[Outro]
Dad's old number
