Calling out to Carol
She could really twist the screws
What'cha doin' Monday?
And are you back on the booze?
Now I been doin' some thinkin'
About Colorado Springs
A dirty denim jacket, and a seven dollar ring.

Well I've been keeping busy
I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who's that in the background?
I'm sorry that I asked
I guess I should have known.

Refrein:
Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times, but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know.

When'd you change your number?
Hey, Carol! It's different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad
But that's not why I called you up now
You know, I quit that scene
I told ya 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazine.

And I still remember all those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Well I guess sometimes that's the way things go.

Refrein.

Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone
Sees a lot of people, but she lives alone
Pick up the receiver, love will come and go
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know.

When they called me in the morning
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't wanna hear it
So I just hung up the phone.

Callin' out, callin' out to Carol (3x)
Callin' out to Carol.

Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Is this line in service?
Operator says no
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know.
