Lyrics

Wrong End of the Line

They all said she?d make me crazy
If I hung around too long
But, she was my inspiration
To nearly every song
But, lookin? back I should have listened
To all that friendly advice
?Cause every day I?m feeling lonely
And, every night I pay the price

Chorus
I know I?m sittin? here a waitin?
At the wrong end of the line
Said she?d call when things were better
And, had it worked out in her mind
But that phone just ain?t a ringin?
I know I?m wasting my time
But, another day won?t matter
Here at the wrong end of the line

Tag after third:
A few more years won?t really matter
Here at the wrong end of the line

I went down to the bar this mornin?
It?s the place we used to go
A little early for drinkin?
But, I didn?t think anyone would know
And, after a good long spell of memories
And, a bottle of good wine
I got on back with no hesitation
To that wrong end of the line

To Chorus

Bridge
Now I live out by the ocean
It?s years and years that she?s been gone
I guess I?ve finally figured out
That neither one of us was wrong
But, every time I hear that ringing
She?s back there in my mind
And I find myself still hopin?
This ain?t the wrong end of the line

To Chorus
