While I down Kentucky bourbon
 
 I am waiting for a call
 
 And the moon and stars tonight
 
 Are playing shadows on the wall
 
  
  With the moon the way it is, dear
 
 Would you answer out of spite
 
 Or are you feeling lonely tonight
  
 
 Cause I remember last time
 
 We were out under the stars
 
 Driving crooked down the highway
 
 Drinking beer in roadside bars
  
 
 And now and then I wonder
 
 Why this painful memory
 
 Can never find its way to you from me
  
 
 And I can't dial the phone just now
 
 Even though I know your number
 
 Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
 
 Like you did today
 
 You'll say goodbye the same old way
 
 Ever since you hung up on me
 
 I'm hung up on you
  
 
 Well the house I'm ringing up from
 
 Is a half a mile from you
 
 But with the reception I'm getting
 
 Might as well be Timbuktu
  
 
 And behind the door of your home
 
 Is a strange and foreign land
 
 Where you speak a language I don't understand
  
 
 And I can't dial the phone just now
 
 Even though I know your number
 
 Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
 
 Like you did today
 
 You'll say goodbye the same old way
 
 Ever since you hung up on me
 
 I'm hung up on you
  
 
 Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
 
 Like a thousand other times
 
 With an appetite for poison
 
 And a suitcase full of dimes
  
 
 And I'll wait there by the payphone
 
 With one hundred other guys
 
 With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes
  
 
 And I can't dial the phone just now
 
 Even though I know your number
 
 Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
 
 Like you did today
 
 You'll say goodbye the same old way
 
 Ever since you hung up on me
 
 I'm hung up on you
