But I just, I couldn't pick up on the phone

Sonny, you say you don't recognize me

In fact when I knew you, well I was bearing a beard

So when she called, you coulda knocked me over
D MajorD                 G+G         D MajorD
I thought it was a joke, than my laughter started to fade
      E minorEm    G+G          D MajorD
So I drove down here, down to this damn prison
          E minorEm        G+G         D MajorD
The last thing I expected I see my boy sitting in a cage

Verse:
D MajorD         G+G             D MajorD
So what can I say, give me a call when you want to

You can call me at work, and you can call my place home
        E minorEm      G+G           D MajorD
I'll find a way out of this, not sure how I'm gonna do it
