Party Line Lyrics - Singles - Nora Jane Struthers

Imagine my surprise when they came down the drive 

With that big spool of electric wire 

I didn't understand exactly what they meant 

But they said when they're finished we can talk with all our friends 

Right inside our own house without going out 

Seemed like nothing new but who am I to doubt 

The magic power of an electric wire 

Now we're all on the party line 

I can't hardly get a word in edgewise 

Everyone's on that party line 

But no one ever comes to call 

Why don't you call?

We used to chew the fat. Do you remember that? 

Back when time moved slow as the pine tree sap 

Seeping up through the boards right here on my back porch 

You know you used to love the smell of the magnolias in the morning 

Now you telephone and this don't feel like home 

Without your foot tapping while I put the coffee on 

And I can't see your smile through an electric wire

Now we're all on the party line 

I can't hardly get a word in edgewise 

Everyone's on that party line 

But no one ever comes to call 

Why don't you call?
