The day my cell phone died


A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that phone used to make me smile
And I knew if I could text
My friends would not be vexed
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But when those cups fell on my phone
Shattering every word I honed
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When the crystal was cracked and fried
But something touched me deep inside
The day my cell phone died

[Chorus]
So bye-bye, Verizon good bye
Drove my Honda to the store, but the store was sly
And them good old boys were waitin on friends and guys
Singin' "She is stuck and her hands are tied
She is stuck and her hands are tied"

Now for two years I've been sittin at home
And no one grows happy on a broken phone
But that's not how they said it would be
In a store where it they sold it to me

Oh, and when I moved out farther from town
The bars just slowly slid down
The texts were so slow they adjourned
No verdict was ever returned

And while others talked on phones and texted
Verizon left me in the dark
And I begged for bars in the park
The day my cell phone died

I flew to AT& T today
They waited on me right away
And the plan was less than I now pay
For a phone that never worked anyway

 [Chorus]
So bye-bye, Verizon good bye
Drove my Honda to the store, but the store was sly
And them good old boys were waitin on friends and guys
Singin' "She is stuck and her hands are tied
She is stuck and her hands are tied"
