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 upon the Midnight Flyer,
|
Singin' like a summer breeze.
|
|
I think she's somewhere down South, down about Baton Rouge,
|
But I just can't remember no number, a number I can use.
|
Directory don't have it, central done forgot it,
|
I've gotta find a number to use.
|
|
Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line.
|
Operator said that's priv'ledged information,
|
And it ain't no business of mine.
|
It's floodin' down in Texas, poles are out in Utah,
|
Gotta find a private line.
|
|
She could be hangin' 'round the steel mill,
|
Working in a house of blue lights.
|
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland, talking to the night.
|
I don't know where she's going, I don't care where she's been,
|
Long as she's doin' it right. Long as she's doin' it right.
