Story behind the song
I had received a phone call that a friend from my youth had passed away. The next day I was telling my Neighbor about it and we discussed how we always rushed to grab the phone and then sometimes wished we hadn't when we heard what was on the other end. The idea for the song came from that. For clarity I may change two lines in the song they will be in parenthesis beneath the lines I will delete.
Lyrics
I Got a Phone Call Yesterday V1 I got a phone call yesterday Wish I hadnt that's all I'll say Didnt know Joe was over there Didnt know hed gone anywhere V2 Its only been a couple years We hung out and drank some beers Remember him throwin a touchdown pass The cross town team still kicked our ass I got a phone call yesterday Chorus I was changing plugs on my brothers car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it Itll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday V3 Long tall Joe was his high school name My brother Sam named him at that Game I wonder if Sam knew he's over there (Sam and Joe went over there) Couple of days they'll get back here I got a phone call yesterday Chorus I was changing plugs on my brothers car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it Itll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday Bridge Couldn't think of a word to say Mom was crying Dad punched a hole in the kitchen wall Sam sure like old Chevrolet's Mom got a phone call yesterday (White crosses will mark where they lay) Chorus I was changing plugs on my brothers car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it Itll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday Tag I was changing plugs on my brother's car 2008 Bill Robinson ASCAP-lyric Moker Jarrett ASCAP-music
