about

I wish sometimes I could sing like Otis Redding. That's who I envisioned doing this song. But he was unavailable, so you're stuck with me.

lyrics

In a shuttle bus on Highway 49
I'm stuck in traffic and I'm gonna miss my flight
I got this cell phone from some other traveling guy
And I hope that you don't hang up on me

We weren't speaking when you drove me to the station
We got some problems with our communication
I only hope that when I reach my destination
I'm the one that you want to see

I know that there's static on the line
And it's hard to hear, it's true
But it's the best phone in the whole wide world
If it gets me talkin' to you

I didn't hear from you at all out on my tour
No, not one message and I wanted so much more
If I've done you wrong I want to know and that's for sure
And be the man that I wanna be

I know that there's static on the line
And it's hard to hear, it's true
But it's the best phone in the whole wide world
If it gets me talkin' to you

Time is precious
And you know that we could get cut off at any time
We might have some bad connection
But you know that we can get together if we try

If we can just talk a while together
We might just wind up talkin' for forever
Conversations cool, and conversations clever
We don't have to ever disagree

I know that there's static on the line
And it's hard to hear, it's true
But it's the best phone in the whole wide world
If it gets me talkin' to you
I know that there's static on the line
And it's hard to hear, it's true
But it's the best phone in the whole wide world
If it gets me talkin', it gets me talkin'
It gets me talkin' to you

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
