DmSingin' like a summCer bFreeze
Verse 2
I think she's somewhere down south, down about Baton Rouge
But I just can't remember no number, a number I can use
Directry don't have it, Central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use
Verse 3
Tryin' to check out her number, tryin' to run down her line
Operator said that's privileged information and it ain't no business of mine
It's floodin' down in Texas, the poles are out in Utah
Got to find a private line
Verse 4
She could be hangin' round the steel mill workin' in the house of blue lights
Ridin' a getaway bus out of Portland, talkin' to the night
I don't know where she's goin', I don't care where she's been
As long as she's been doin' it right
