Hey, I can hear a little more of Pig Pence's voice in the black headphones' setup
ย
Operator, can you help me, help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number that I need
My rider left on the midnight flight singing like a summer breeze
I think she's somewhere down south down about Baton Rouge
But I done forgot the number now, the number I can use
Directory don't have it, central forgot
It, gotta find the number to use
Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line
Operator said that's privileged information
And it ain't no business of mine
It's flooding down in Texas, the lines
Are out in Utah, gotta find a private line
She could be hanging 'round the steel
Mills or working in a house of blue lights
Riding a get-a-way bus out of Portland, talking to the night
Don't know where she's going, don't care where
She's been, long as she been doing it right
