| Operator, can you help me?
|

|
| My rider left upon the Midnight Flyer
|
| Singing like a summer breeze
|
| I think she’s somewhere down south
|
| Down about Baton Rouge
|
| But I just can’t remember no number
|
| A number I can use, directory don’t have it
|
| Central done forgot it
|
| Got to find a number to use
|
| Trying to check out her number
|
| Trying to run down her line
|
| Operator said that’s priviledged information
|
| And it ain’t no business of mine
|
| It’s flooding down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah
|
| Got to find a private line
|
| She could be hanging round a steel mill
|
| Working in a house of blue light
|
| Riding a getaway bus out of Portland
|
| Talking to the night
|
| I don’t know where she’s going
|
| I don’t care where she’s been
|
| Long as she’s been doin' it right
