Don't Call Me

(album: The Highwomen - 2019)

You get yourself in another one of your binds
Run for help, yell for someone, pray for a sign
Dial 911, light a roadside flare, up and run
I don't care, just don't, don't call me

If your truck breaks down, if it all falls apart
Leave it on the shoulder, just get out, take a walk
If your shoes hurt your feet, take 'em off, probably do you some good
Hell maybe a lot, just don't, don't call me

Oh, don't, don't call me
With another of your emergencies
Didn't you say you outgrew me?
When you chose to up and leave, but don't call me

You wake up in jail and they let you use the phone
Even if my line is the only number you know
You gotta figure it out on your own
Used up your favors a long time ago, so don't, don't call me

Oh, don't, don't call me
With another of your emergencies
Didn't you say you outgrew me?
When you chose to up and leave, don't call me

(Oh no you don't)

Oh, don't, don't call me
With another of your emergencies
Didn't you say you outgrew me?
When you chose to up and leave, don't call me

(Whoa you don't call me)
Try sorting it out yourself
Pick up a book and get self help
1800 go to hell, there's always been someone else
You can lean on your other ex, I know ya'll still text
I know your mom, she'll fix you mess
Call you doctor, your lawyer, if you can afford one
Lose my number, don't call Brandi
And don't call me
Call your spiritual guider, Buddha maybe
Your tattoo artist
Somebody else can get this party started
