Some Phone Numbers Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

For some kicks I went drinking, with some old hounds I ran with 

While you were away for the day 

Now the guys hadn't changed much, the scene seemed the same 

In the way that the night games are played 

Chorus: 

Without you I'd be one of the ones who just stumble 

And grab any soft place to fall 

Where each day begins with a walk out some doorway 

With some phone numbers you'll never call 

As the evening drank on, we got more into basics 

About loves lost and friends we have known 

Well, Big John, he's bankrupt, and Old Lucky's in jail 

And Fast Eddie's still living alone 

Chorus 

Bridge: 

Starting all over would be more than I could handle 

I don't think my lines would ring true 

Looking for love in the arms of a stranger 

Is more than I'm willing to do 

Chorus 

That night I drove home, past the houses for sale 

Their plans had all come to an end 

There's no blueprint for livin', no one has your answers 

But we're given some clues now and then 

Chorus
