Calling Out To Carol

Calling out to Carol
She could really twist the screws
What cha doin' Monday?
And are you back on the booze?

Now I been doin' some thinkin'
About Colorado Springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven dollar ring

Well, I've been keeping busy
I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who's that in the background?
I'm sorry that I asked
I guess I should have known

Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know

When'd you change your number?
Hey, Carol, it's different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad

But that's not why I called you up now
You know, I quit that scene
I told you 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazine

And I still remember
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Well, I guess sometimes that's the way things go

Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know

Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone
Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
Pick up the receiver, love will come and go
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know

When they called me in the morning
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't wanna hear it
So I just hung up the phone

Calling out, calling out to Carol
Calling out, calling out to Carol
Calling out, calling out to Carol
Calling out to Carol

Calling out on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Is this line in service, operator says: "No"
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know
