Written in Iraq While on Deployment with the Louisiana National Guard

Verses Picked with Chorus Strumed

G D

He was workin, far from home

Am Em

I was a boy of Fourteen, Felt like he was always gone

G d Em

but he called every night, over the telephone

Heard her laugh, Heard my Mama cry

Am Em

Through those paper thin walls, late at night

G D Am

lyin' there, I swore that I was never gonna live my life

Em

.....Over the Telephone

Chorus-

G D

He'd call and say I love you

Am Em

Hear her smile and say I love you too

G D

they'd talk all about their day

Am Em

and all the things that they got to do

G D

Now I'm married, and we got a child

Am Em

everything was goin' good for a while

G D

but Uncle Sam , threw us a curve

Am Em

now I'm sittin' here alone on the other side of the world

G D

but I call, every night

Em

...over the telephone

G D

Heard her laugh, heard my wife cry

Am Em

through those long distant lines, late at night

G D Am

lyin' here, I pray that our son never has to live his life

Em

....over the telephone

Chorus:

G D

I call and Say I love you

Am Em

hear her smile and say I love you too

we talk all about our day

Am Em

and all things that we had to do

he was workin', far from home

Am Em

I was a boy of fourteen, seemed like he was always gone
