Operator, can you help me, help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number that I need
My rider left upon the midnight flyer,
Singin like a summer breeze

I think shes somewhere down south, down about baton rouge,
But I just cant remember no number, a number I can use
Directory dont have it, central done forgot it,
Ive gotta find a number to use

Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line
Operator said thats privledged information,
And it aint no business of mine
Its floodin down in texas, poles are out in utah,
Gotta find a private line

She could be hangin round the steel mill,
Working in a house of blue lights
Riding a getaway bus out of portland, talking to the night
I dont know where shes going, I dont care where shes been,
Long as shes doin it right long as shes doin it right
