Robert Cray - Phone Booth Lyrics






I'm in a phone booth, baby
Number scratched on the wall
I'm in a phone booth, baby
Number scratched on the wall
I'm new in Chicago
Got no one else to call

Been walkin' all day
For old friends I can't find
Hearts so cold
Had to buy me some wine
Calling you, baby
Took my very last dime

I'm in a phone booth, baby
Number scratched up on the wall
I'm in a phone booth, baby
Number scratched on the wall
I'm new in Chicago
Got no one else to call

Said call Big Rita
Anytime, day or night
You know I'm broke and I'm cold, baby
And I hope you'll treat me right
I'm in a phone booth, baby
With the cold wind right outside

    I LOVE "young bob" Cray! My first album of his ('87's 'Strong Persuader') got me hooked. 'Who's Been Talkin?', with the iconic cut 'too many cooks in the kitchen', further sealed it for me.

He was friends with Curtis Salgado and the rest of the guys in Robert cray Band so I was lucky enough to see them play many times, then come to the house when Taylor's closed for the night..and stay and play Foosball, maybe jam and boy we partied.
