Vern Gosdin - The Number He Gave Me Was Mine lyrics

rate me

I was pouring my heart out to a stranger at the bar

We talked about what happens when a man goes too far

Then he mentioned this woman he knew across town

Ah, he said she was somethin’ to be hold in a gown

She knows how to hold you like no woman can

She’s pure satisfaction to a sad lonely man

When the guilt in my conscience had packed up and gone

He gave me her number and I went to the phone

My whole world just came to the end of the line

‘Cause the number he gave me, was mine

I wanted to hurt him with all that I had

Oh, but I knew it was my fault that she turned out bad

God knows I wanted to lay down and die

‘Cause the number he gave me, was mine

Ah…Oh, the number he gave me, was mine
