Why I’m Calling Songtext
von Madeline Edwards

Dishwasher broke today
But that ain′t the only thing broken
Bed ain't made, there′s bills to pay
And I'm fightin' with my husband
I know you′ll let me complain
And listen with no judgment
And I′ll feel better talkin' ′bout the weather
And family down in Houston

But you don't even know
That I picked up phone

To hear those wind chimes on the porch
Singin′ with a whippoorwill
Your cedar swing and sippin' your
Second cup of chamomile
To feel you smilin′ through the line
And all the while, we're talkin'
Might have a thirty-minute drive
But that ain′t why I′m callin'


By the time I get to where I′m goin'
It′ll feel like I was
Sittin' next to you in a wicker chair
While I was here and you were there
It′s like I went back home
Just pickin' up the phone

To hear those wind chimes on the porch
Singin' with a whippoorwill
Your cedar swing and sippin′ your
Second cup of chamomile
To feel you smilin′ through the line
Well, all the while, we're talkin′
Might have a thirty-minute drive
But that ain't why I′m callin'

Ooh, I′m callin'

To hear someone who knows me so well
I don't have to explain myself
To talk about everything
It means everything


To hear those wind chimes on the porch
Singin′ with a whippoorwill
Your cedar swing and sippin′ your
Second cup of chamomile
To feel you smilin' through the line
Well, all the while, we′re talkin'
Might have a thirty-minute drive
But that ain′t why
I had to hear your voice and I
Hope you don't mind I′m just callin'

Ooh, I'm callin′
I′m callin'
