About the Artist
Lyrics
I had to fix a lot of things this morning 'Cause they were so scrambled But now it's okay I tell you I've got enough to do The afternoon was filled up with phone calls What a hot sticky day, yeah yeah yeah The air is cooling down Take all the time you need It's a lovely night If you decide to come You're gonna do it right Drive for a couple miles You'll see a sign and turn left For a couple blocks Next is mine, you'll turn left on a little road It's a bumpy one You'll see a white fence Move the gate and drive through on the left side Come right in And you'll find me in my house somewhere Keeping busy while I wait I get a lot of thoughts in the morning I write 'em all down If it wasn't for that I'd forget 'em in a while And lately I've been thinking Ôbout a good friend I'd like to see more of, yeah yeah yeah I think I'll make a call I wrote a number down But I lost it So I searched through my pocket book I couldn't find it So I sat and concentrated on the number And slowly it came to me So I dialed it And I let it ring a few times There was no answer So I let it ring a little more Still no answer So I hung up the telephone Got some paper and sharpened up a pencil And wrote a letter to my friend
