Lonesome 77203
Billy Don Burns Lyrics

I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind
If you do, then darlin', you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome 77203

You're the only one I'm giving our new number to
So now if the telephone should ring, I'll know it's you
If you ever long for love that used to be

Just call Lonesome 77203
Just call Lonesome 77203

In the song Lonesome 77203 by Billy Don Burns, the singer is speaking about changing their telephone number because every time the phone would ring, it was a constant reminder of the person they are no longer with. They're hoping to find solace in their new number and no longer having to speak to people who are looking for their former lover. The singer still has strong feelings for their ex and leaves their new number with the hope that one day they will call and say they've changed their mind and want to be with them again. The new number is reserved for only the ex-lover to call, as the singer cannot let go of the past and still longs for their love. It's a song about heartbreak, longing and the consequences of giving your heart away.

Had our number changed today, although I hated to
Our phone number has been changed today, but it was difficult because I didn't want to let go of the memories that come with it.

But each time the phone would ring, They'd want to speak to you
Whenever the phone rang, it was someone who wanted to talk to you.

And it Hurt to tell them you're not here with me
It was painful to tell them that you're not here with me anymore.

Maybe now, old telephone will let me be It's Not in the book now, so you'd better write it down
Hopefully, without our number in the phonebook, the phone won't ring as much. But, just in case, you should still write down our new number.

Just in case your love for me should ever come Around You might want to call and break the news to me Just call Lonesome 77203
If you ever realize that you still love me, you can call me on our new number and let me know.

I keep the telephone beside me all the time Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind If you do, then darlin', you know where I'll be I'm at Lonesome 77203
I always keep the phone with me hoping that you might call and tell me that you've changed your mind. If you do, you know where to find me at Lonesome 77203.

You're the only one I'm giving our new number to So now if the telephone should ring, I'll know it's you
You're the only person who knows our new number, so if the phone rings, I'll know that it's you.

If you ever long for love that used to be Just call Lonesome 77203 Just call Lonesome 77203
If you ever want to relive the love that we used to have, just call me on Lonesome 77203. Call Lonesome 77203.
