Well there's an angel on my phone line
and he's been calling me collect
from a truck stop up ahead
he's gonna call me
instead from the road side
well it's the next best thing he says
ray of sunshine on my neck
he's gonna call me

Instead
call on me instead
no breakfast in bed
call me instead

Well there's a stranger
near my porch life
and he's been calling on me again
from a bus stop way out west
he's gonna call me
instead near the road sign
it's the next ten days he says
spray your sunshine on my mess
he's gonna call me

Instead
call on me instead
no breakfast in bed
call me instead
