Why I'm Calling

Dishwasher broke today

But that ain't the only thing broken

Bed ain't made, there's bills to pay

And I'm fightin' with my husband

I know you'll let me complain

And listen with no judgment

And I'll feel better talkin' 'bout the weather

And family down in Houston

But you don't even know

That I picked up the phone

To hear those wind chimes on the porch

Singin' with a whip-poor-will

Your cedar swing and sippin' your

Second cup of chamomile

To feel you smilin' through the line

And all the while, we're talkin'

Might have a thirty-minute drive

But that ain't why I'm callin'

By the time I get where I'm goin' it'll feel like I was

Sittin' next to you in a wicker chair

While I was here and you were there

It's like I went back home

Just pickin' up the phone

To hear those wind chimes on the porch

Singin' with a whip-poor-will

Your cedar swing and sippin' your

Second cup of chamomile

To feel you smilin' through the line

Well, all the while, we're talkin'

Might have a thirty-minute drive

But that ain't why I'm callin'

Ooh, I'm callin'

To hear someone who knows me so well

I don't have to explain myself

To talk about everything

It means everything

To hear those wind chimes on the porch

Singin' with a whip-poor-will

Your cedar swing and sippin' your

Second cup of chamomile

To feel you smilin' through the line

Well, all the while, we're talkin'

Might have a thirty-minute drive

But that ain't why

I had to hear your voice and I

Hope you don't mind I'm just callin'

Ooh, I'm callin'

I'm callin'
