Story Behind The Song

I watched a Hank Williams biography in which they asked him where he got all those sad songs from. He answered something along the lines of, you just have to write about your life. I went in the other room, dragged up some pain, and finished these lyrics in an hour after struggling with them for months. Thanks, Hank.

Song Description

A song about calling your ex and asking if you can come over. Lyrically, it involves dialing her number repeatedly during a mundane day of routine activities to ask if he can come over so she can help him get over her.

Lyrics

I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of town
Warmed up yesterday?s coffee
Tried it choke it down
Then I dialed your number
You let it ring through
Can I come over I?m trying to get over you
Punched my card in the time clock
Set my lunch pail down
I dialed your number
Guess you?re not around
Last night was a nightmare
Today it came true
Can I come over I?m trying to get over you
What will it take until my lonely heart won?t break?
How can I pay for my latest mistake?
Stopped off at the local
Numbed myself to the bone
Bought a lottery ticket cried all the way home
Then I dialed your number
Don?t know what else to do
Can I come over I?m trying get over you
What will it take to leave your ghost behind
What will it take to ease my mind
How many minutes until this day is through
Another day older, I?m trying to get over you
I got home this evening
And I lay myself down
I dialed your number
Calling from the dark side of town
This living ain?t easy
I?ve got nothing to lose
Can I come over I?m trying to get over you
Cry on your shoulder I?m trying to get over you
Another day older I?m trying to get over you
Baby, I know that I?ll never be over you
