Travis Tritt Lyrics

"Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)"

You say you were wrong, to ever leave me alone
Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared
And you say you'd be happy, if you could just come back home
Well here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Call someone who'll listen and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sordid affairs
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lines
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Well I thought what we had, could never turn bad
So your leavin' caught me unaware
But the fact is you've run, girl that can't be undone
So here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Call someone who'll listen and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sordid affairs
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lines
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Yeah here's a quarter, call someone who cares
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Who's Travis Tritt? I was riding with my cousin doing a 200 mile trip and he had country music playing the whole time. I asked him "do you listen to this all the time" and he said "yep" and I said "how come you haven't killed yourself"

If you play country music backwards, you get your wife back, you get your dog back, you get your life back....

Brooks and Dunn and lots of older country I like but old rock and blue's I like better than any. Rap only one just can not like in any form. :tongue: :putput:

"Sorted" could by definition..... mean multiple affairs..

The meaning, interpretation and misinterpretation of songs can be more fascinating than the songs themselves.
