Sir I'm sorry, but that number's been changed
Well I left town a year ago
For New Mexico
Digging wells and building roads
Anyway to go
I know I haven't written
For a month or so
But that's no call to leave me
Guess you had to go
Sir I'm sorry, but that number's been changed
You might try redialing, if you have more change
No I'm sorry; she left no other exchange
Sir I'm sorry, but that number's been changed
You know I really don't remember
How many times I've called that number
Even after she left me and sent back my things
I guess it's just a habit now; numbers are a funny thing
Why only a fool would keep on thinkin' that it might someday ring
I've been wondering what to do
And where to go from here
But I ain't found no answer
In this glass of beer
Maybe another bottle
Would make things clear
And point me towards another road
Leadin' out of here
Sir I'm sorry, but that number's been changed
You might try redialing, if you have more change
No I'm sorry; she left no other exchange
Sir I'm sorry, but that number's been changed
