Operator, can you help me, help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number that I need
My rider left upon the midnight flyer
Singing like a summer breeze
I think shes somewhere down South, down about Baton Rouge
But i just cant remember no number, a number I can use
Directory dont have it, central done forgot it
Ive gotta find a number to use
Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line
Operator said thats privileged information
And it aint no business of mine
Its flooding down in Texas, poles are out in Utah
Gotta find a private line
She could be hanging round the steel mill
Working in a house of blue lights
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland, talking to the night
I dont know where shes going, I dont care where shes been
Long as shes doing it right
Long as shes doing it right
