Lyrics

Hey baby, it?s me
I?m just calling to tell you where I?m gonna be
I hope it?s not too late
I hope I didn?t wake
The baby, but I just thought I?d check and see
If you?d answer this time
Cuz baby, it?s me
I know you think I?m just wasting my time
Singing my heart out without ever earning a dime
But I know it?s all gonna change, I promise you baby someday
You?ll turn on your car radio and you?ll hear me say

Hey baby, it?s me
It?s just a few more miles to Nashville, Tennessee
And I wish you?d wished me luck
I bet you my new song will tear ?em up
Well don?t this all sound so sad and bittersweet
Cuz I know you know I?m just calling
To say, ?Baby, It?s me.?

I s?pose our friends must be thinking I?m wasting my time
Singing my heart out without ever earning a dime
Oh, but I know it?s all gonna change, I promise you baby someday
You?ll turn on your car radio and you?ll hear me say

Hey baby, it?s me
Well they got no sense of music in Nashville; that?s plain to see
But please don?t say, ?I told you so.?
Cuz darling I?ve come to know
You?re the only one who?s ever gonna be
Glad when I walk in
And say, ?Baby, it?s me.?

I know you think I just been wasting my time
Singing my heart out without ever earning a dime
I guess it?s just clear to me now; it won?t ever change
So I hope you don?t mind one more time if I call and say

Hey baby, it?s me
Well I sang ?em my best in Nashville, Tennessee
You never once said, ?I told you so?
While all this time I?m chasing rainbows
So let me just sing one more song, and then let it be
This one?s for you, it?s called, ?Hey, Baby, It?s Me?
This one?s for you, it?s called, ?Hey, Baby, It?s Me?
