Call Collect Songtext
von Violet Road

Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I′m gone

I met him by the shoulder
Of a dark and winding road
I stripped him of his money
It was a pretty heavy load
It was a golden deed yeah
So damned nice of me
But he retaliated
And I tried to break free


Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I'm gone

I saw them by the rived
Dealing dimes and dope
I imitated sirens
And I ran away with all
I put it by the station
Waiting for the boom
But still no sign of freedom
Still no sign of doom

Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I′m gone

I've gone to see if I can break away from stones that drag me down
I hide my shame by the forsaken road
(We've come to let you know that no one′s gonna save your sorry ass!)
I′ve gone to see if someone else is crawling down here tonight


Hit it!
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I'm gone

Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I′m gone, gone, gone, yeah!

Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to drive here fast
With the devil on hold
Oh, boy - shoot me down cold
I had to call collect
Now I'm gone

I had to call collect
Now I′m gone
I had to call collect
now I'm gone
