Standard (EADGBE)

Nobody is home, I’m broke but can spend this dime

 To call on the phone, I’ll wait and try just one more time

 I’ve been standing in this phone booth instead of walking in the rain

 To the honky tonk a mile from here where

 I could ease the pain not knowing she’s gone again

 And nothin’ still the same

I know that she’s gone she would wait for me to call

I knew all along she’d picked me up to watch me fall

And know I’ve hitchhiked from here to Memphis

Fourteen hours in the rain, you know she wrote me not to bother to

Call her if I came, seems she’s gone before she’s left again

And nothin’ still the same

Chorus

 And it’s been raining on the freeway bout as far as I can see

 The sky is grey and it’s just the way it always rains on me

 No sun today she’s gone way, why can’t hope let me be

Instrumental verse +:

And I’ve been standing in this phone booth wishing I could blame the rain

For being here instead of her wind,

Nothin’ still the same I wonder if she’ll call again

Since nothin’ still the same

Chorus +

Nobody is home and nothin’ still the same
