This phone's growing into my ear
I made three hundred calls today,
Though yours is the only voice that i wanna hear
I got to make me a living someway.
I know you hate me doing this

Used to love the country now i'm selling it.
I'm doing well at it,
That's the hell of it!
I said that we would find a farm
And live out on the land,
It's strange how dreams come back at us
In ways that we had never planned.
Here i'm selling real estate
And laughing at myself,
If i can't have my country dream
I'm gonna sell it out to somebody else!
Darling, don't get mad at me
