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'
'Bout Colorado Springs
A dirty deim 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
CHORUS
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 the scene
I told ya '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
Sometims I guess that's the way things go
CHORUS
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
'Cause 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 want to hear it
So I just hung up the phone
Calling out to Carol 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
