lyrics

I sit so close to the telephone, when it rings that way but I know that you’re coming home.
Jar full of corn and I got nobody on hold.
The whiskey burns a hole in my shoe, there’s a twenty dollar noggin when the dogs get hold of you.
Jar full of corn and I got nobody on hold.

I couldn’t come inside.
I can’t remember the last time this kind of blood was on my hands.
I’m not coming home.
I know I ought to be ashamed.

I get so hot when I see the bones and I wonder if we’ll ever get a minute to be alone. Charlie don’t hear me in the bed I made of loam.
Ashes on a fire and what’s become of the man i had to call and the man i had to run from.
Charlie don’t hear me in the bed I made of loam.

I can’t come inside.
I can’t remember the last time this kind of blood was on my hands.
I’m not coming home.
I know I ought to be ashamed.

I sit so close to the telephone, when it rings that way I don’t know if you’re coming home.
Jar full of corn and I got nobody on hold.
If Charlie calls, I’m not at home,
but Charlie ain’t calling ‘cause he’s got no telephone. Jar full of corn and I got nobody on hold.

I can’t come inside.
I can’t remember the last time this kind of blood was on my hands.

More than just a band, The Wheelers are a musical family that embodies a "do-it-yourself" attitude and the free spirit of grassroots music. Writing, recording, and producing all of their own music in a basement (endearingly referred to as "The Bossmont") in Decatur, AL, they have come to represent a truly homegrown sound that is greater than the sum of its parts. ... more
