lyrics

60 minute calling card, I’ve used up 52
On the phone with my lover over in Duluth
I’m tired of the distance, I’m tired of the cold
I need my lover’s hand to hold

I did my time in Michigan, and now I’m on parole
Law says that I gotta stay, but my heart tells me to go
Soon as I cross the border I’ll make that dreaded call
And I’ll have eight minutes to try to explain it all

Oh my PO may not forgive me
But if love is a thing he ever knew
Maybe he’ll take pity on me
In my eight minute call to Kalamazoo

I thought I’d have forever to spend with my man
But he got called up yesterday by good old Uncle Sam
Now they’re counting down the hours till he gets shipped away
I can’t let a single minute go to waste

Oh my PO may not forgive me
But if love is a thing he ever knew
Maybe he’ll take pity on me
In my eight minute call to Kalamazoo

I explained my situation as the minutes ticked on by
I coulda sworn I heard that stern old man choke up and cry
I waited for his answer white knuckled on the phone
But instead of his voice I heard the dial tone

Oh my PO may not forgive me
But if love is a thing he ever knew
Maybe he’ll take pity on me
In my eight minute call to Kalamazoo
In my eight minute call to Kalamazoo
