Joannie, came over to my house last night, I drank

a little too much red and we got into a fight.

to forgive.

The phone rang once, the phone rang twice, and then
I heard her say-ay.

Joannie, I'm sorry and I'm feelin' oh, so small.

That was the message that I left and I waited for

if she'd forgive me was tearin' me apart.

I couldn't go on this way, I had to call again.

My phone rang and my heart sang, my baby's called at last.
A E A
Instead, it was a friend who said that Joannie's car had
E
crashed.
E D
I never should've let her drive home angry from my place.
A B
I'd never hold her again and kiss that funny face.
A Abm
But still there was a way to hear her voice again..
B A E B
the phone rang once, the phone rang twice..and then I heard
her say-ay.
