Recorded by Keith Whitley Written by Curly Putman, Don Cook, Bucky Jones [Intro] E [Verse 1]
     E                               A
It's lonely out tonight down here in Georgia

        E                              B7
And the oldest friend I've got I met today

    E                             A
The woman that I love just up and left me

        E                B7              E
And the place I love's a thousand miles away
[Verse 2]
E                      A
Operator hook me up to Houston

E                     B7
Get me anybody on the phone

E                                  A
Look there in your book and pick a number

           E               B7                E
'Cause you can't be choosy when you're this alone
[Chorus]
          A                 E
Won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl

  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call

          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues

E             B7              E
Tell me I can come on home to you
[Verse 3]
  E                           A
I got this faded number in my wallet

     E                            B7
It's been in here a dozen years I know

  E                             A
I used to call it up when I was lonely

E                B7                 E
Lord, that woman sure could love me so
[Verse 4]
  E                                      A
I know by now she's probably changed her number

    E                                       B7
And with my luck she's probably changed her name

   E                                     A
If there's a chance in hell I think I'll take it

           E                 B7             E
'Cause I'd love to hear that woman's voice again
[Chorus]
             A                 E
So won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl

  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call

          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues

E             B7              E
Tell me I can come on home to you

          A                 E
Won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl

  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call

          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues

E             B7              E     A
Tell me I can come on home to you
[Coda]
     E             B7              E      E
Hey, tell me I can come on home to you
