Lyrics:

Hello Faye I'm glad you called I know it's been a long while

Since I held your soft young body close to me

And I've laid awake so many nights and thought about your warm smile

But Faye you know there's lots of miles between Las Vegas

And the hills of Tennessee


And Faye I lied to you a little bit out there in Vegas

Cause I'm a several years ahead of thirty-two

And I said things that lead you to believe I had no family

And it's killing me to tell you I've got a son

That's almost as old as you


There's 19 years and 1800 miles between us Faye

I could whip the miles in two days driving time

There's 19 years and 1800 miles between us Faye

But it's not the miles that's bothering my mind

It's not the miles that's bothering my mind


You're 21 and I'm 2 score and full of vim and vigor

I can rise and shine with each new morning sun

But come twenty years I know I'm gonna be a tired old sixty

You'll still be young and pretty and reaching for your prime at 41


And when I'm sittin’ in the shade and thinking of retirement

Your young body will be restless with desire

We'll go to bed and I’ll turn my back and sadly whisper goodnight

And grieve myself to death to know that I'm not man enough

To quench my woman's fire
