    The lesson in this song: don't pick up the phone when your ex calls unless you're gonna write a killer country song about it.

    I’ve listened to this song at least twice a day since it came out. I didn’t know it would be so pertinent to my life. A few days ago I had to part ways with a person I’ve loved for 4 years. This song is helping me feel that loss. Thank you

    Had the exceptional fortune of meeting Mr. Hess during my recent travels in his part of the world. He is 100% Grade A certified good people. I got his number to share our love of Zam rock and I intend to keep it. He is the reason I will return to the Duck as much as I can. Never go to Wyoming.

    Years ago I had a nasty blow up with a young lady I was pretty smitten with. I walked away from that conversation knowing I was never speaking to her again. A few months later, I was at the house of a different girl and my phone rang. It was “her”. I looked at the phone for a few seconds and walked out of Other Girl’s house without saying a word and answered the phone. We have been married 13 years now. I sometimes think about how different life would be if I hadn’t decided to answer that call.

    Love it once again, same mic you used on "I stole the right to live", right? Great tone!
    Chords and lyrics below, on UG soon as well
    Standard tuning, Capo on 1
    Some basic hammer-ons here and there, f.ex. 0h2 D string when playing the C chord
    Intro Am G C / Dm G C
    Verses Am G C / Dm G C / Am G C / Dm G C / Am G C / Dm G C
    Chorus F C / Dm G C / Dm G C
    Interlude Am G C / Dm G C
    [Verse 1]
    How do I always know that it's you?
    And why is each time a time I've been missing you too?
    And how do you seem to know I'm alone?
    When there's no one beside me to keep me from picking up the phone
    But you only call when you're not doing well
    When you're hurting again and you need someone to tell
    [Chorus]
    But nothing that ever comes of this is any good at all
    So why do I still answer when you call?
    Why do I still answer when you call?
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 2]
    You say "I know you well", that I'm still your dear friend
    And that you still cry for the way things went in the end
    So what is it now that you reach to me for
    When you're sure he's asleeping, you snuck out the bedroom door
    But you're his when you're fine, you're just mine when you're not
    You don't miss what you had quite enough to give up what you've got
    [Chorus]
    But nothing that ever comes of this is any good at all
    So why do I still answer when you call?
    Nothing that ever comes of this is any good at all
    So why do I still answer when you call?
    Why do I still answer when you call?

    WAF: Shawn, tell me something interesting about Wyoming.
    Shawn: It's just about the worst state in the nation. Ugliest place I've ever seen. I would never suggest anyone moving here. Let alone, visiting.
    Bwahahaha! Perfect introduction to 307 Days. Guess folk in Wyoming have self-deprecating humor down pat. Good song, too.
