about

One side of a phone conversation with someone from the past. My daughter asked me if it was to a man or a woman and I told her I don’t know, I’m just listening in on the conversation like everybody else.

lyrics

Tonight I’m Just Thinking About You

Well hello how are you?
It’s been a long long time
It’s good to hear your voice on the phone
Yes, it’s me; I’m calling from Austin, Texas
No, I’m not looking for a loan
I just missed you
And I was wondering how you were doing
Remember when we stole that blue canoe?
Boat started leaking; we laughed so hard
Tonight I’m just thinking about you

How many kids?
Are they gonna go to college?
Do you think they’ll be as crazy as me and you?
No, I hope not, too,
That’s a long hard road
And some of our friends did not make it through
Are you rich? Are you happy?
Do you still love your lover?
Have any of your biggest dreams come true?
No, I wouldn’t ask that,
That’s not why I’m calling
Tonight I’m just thinking about you

Yeah, I gotta go too
My wife will start wondering
Maybe next year we can get back home
Do you ever see Frank?
Ah, what am I saying?
Go on now, I know you gotta go
What I wanted to say was: ah, never mind
Some things are better left unsaid; it’s true
Yes, it’s me; I’m calling from Austin, Texas,
Tonight I’m just thinking about you
