[Verse 1] Were kept apart and connected by the same stretch of road And Im tired of packin around this heavy load It started out a stream but then the levee fell When the rainmaker had some extra seeds to sell [Verse 2] Well I just thought Id call and see whats goin on Did the hill country flatten out since Ive been gone? Are the fields all painted up in red and blue? Are you thinkin of me the times Im thinkin of you [Chorus] Well I just wanna drink til Im not thirsty And I just wanna sleep til Im not tired I just wanna drive til I run out of money Cause I dont wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire [Verse 3] Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous? The Yanks are in town and we got nothin to do Your neighbors are gone and youre feelin alone You cant kiss somebody on the telephone [Verse 4] Did you go out last night and was it just a friend? Would you care if I showed up there at Six A.M And drive all day with the top pulled down We could stay in all night or we could paint the town You might also like[Chorus] I just wanna drink til Im not thirsty And I just wanna sleep til Im not tired I just wanna drive til I run out of money Cause I dont wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire [Verse 5] I guess I better go now, its gettin too late Theres a party downstairs and I thought I heard somethin break I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon Maybe later on this afternoon [Chorus] I just wanna drink til Im not thirsty And I just wanna sleep til Im not tired I just wanna drive til I run out of money Cause I dont wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire I said, I dont wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
