Cole Swindell - Dad's Old Number Lyrics






I'm sorry ma'am, don't hang up, no I ain't sellin' nothin'
I don't know what I was thinkin' when I called, I guess I wasn't
Yeah I was just down on my luck
Having some trouble with this old truck
And the guy that used to pick up, he could fix anything

Sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the Braves score
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me, in case you wondered, you've got dad's old number

I learned it by heart when I was six, he never did change it
I've called it in trouble with good and bad news and break ups, yeah you name it
Sure I've got some friends I can call
And they're always there if I need to talk
But good as they are it ain't their fault, sometimes I just need him

And sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the Braves score
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me, in case you wondered, you've got dad's old number

So I apologize in advance
'Cause there's a damn good chance
When I meet that girl, get that job
And I need to tell my best friend
You're probably gonna hear from me again

'Cause sometimes I forget these ten digits ain't my lifeline anymore
Every now and then I dial 'em up when life gets tough or when the Braves score
Sorry 'bout the one ring hang ups, early morning, late night wake ups
It was just me, in case you wondered, yeah, you've got dad's old number
My dad's old number

    I think about him and miss him everyday.
    Make sure to hold your loved ones close and tell them how much they mean to you...so you don't regret not saying it more while you still had them.

  19. Z.... R....

    I lost my dad 12 years ago on my 21st birthday. He was my hero and the only one I called when I was over seas. That day I lost everything. But so did the world one of those golden hearts that will never be replaced.

  20. D.... M....

    “Sometimes I forget that these 10 digits ain’t my life line anymore” This song never fails to make that’s soft spot in my heart let some out. I can’t imagine what life is life without a dad. 🥺💛

  21. H.... H....

    A year today I lost my grandma ( my mother) ... I've been going through hell for months. Gosh I need that lifeline right now. She made everything better. Her hugs, her telling me she loved me, saying she's praying for me, that she's worried about me, can ahe do anything to make it better... Everything she did made me feel better. Gosh I miss her.

  22. C.... B....

    My best friend lost her dad a month ago very suddenly and she listens to this song every day

  23. b.... ....

    You instantly gained a fan with this song, my friend.

    Heart-wrenching and touching all the same. This is what country music should be.

  24. b.... b....

    this song gets me every time R.i.p daddy 6.19.19

  25. m.... 1....

    This song doesn't make me think of dad. But my grandpa. RIP

  26. C.... ....

    My dad never cared to anewer or if life got tough or if my breaks gave out even after I became a dad myself never even looked up probably doesn't even know her name so I cam to a realization to give my daughter the dad I never had breaks go out? I can fix it want a tree house I can build one boyfriend break her heart? I can break his face sometimes people are too focused on what they never had like me and don't realize that they are they new and improved version of dad because every son and daughter should know that they're daddy loved them more than he loved himself my dad never showed me that but I'll damn sure show my kids that

  27. T.... S....

    You were my life line pop, miss you everyday. You were my best friend and I miss you every single day. Love you dad, I’ll remember you forever. Tommy Dan Stubblefield 5/17/2019

  29. K.... s....

    This song fits me to a t!! I miss hearing my phone ring every morning and my dad saying good morning bud! A year ago( I was 30) he passed away from a brain aneurism and I have called his phone just to vent about stuff and struggles in life and the hardest part is this last time I called, it said voicemail was full... that was the only thing I had left to feel like he is still here. Fuck I miss you dad! Thank you for never giving up on us like mom did.. you didn't always parent the right way but we made it and I'm here because of you and I'm so thankful for you.

  30. C.... C....

    I miss you like crazy daddy. I wish you were here to see the man I’ve become. I know I’d be a lot better of one if you were still here but god had other plans. I’ll see you when I come join you when the man upstairs says it’s my time....I love you old man. Rest easy🙏

    My father was at the zoo on June 17th with my sister and he asked me if I wanted to go three times that day and I said I was okay, little did I know my whole world was gonna crash that day, he fell while at the zoo and he died June 28, 2019. My world changed forever and will always have the "what if" in the back of my mind. What if I would have went? Could I have changed the outcome and possibly still have my best friend here? I will forever miss you Orlando Vigil

  68. t.... ....

    Got my dads old answering machine just to hear his voice

  69. K.... M....

    I had a "dad like" figure in my life. Biologically he was my uncle my real moms baby brother and when my real mom didn't want me and my real dad moved to Missouri I wanted to stay in my hometown and go to school with my friends. He taught me most of the "dad" stuff like driving a stick to drinking a little booze and even the f word. We lost him year ago and even though he wasn't my biological dad he was still kinda like a dad. My real dad is still in my life and I still learn from him...so if you have your dad and/or "dad like" in your life call them.

    My dad was horrible to me up until he went to jail when I was 15.. and ever since he got out every day he is trying to make up for, being so mean....Now He's a good man and tries his hardest to be a good dad. I love that guy and he's helping me through toughest of times. When my brother passed away from a overdose when I was 19, I called his phone four months just to hear his voice mail. Until is phone got shut off. But It changed my dad a lot and he is such a good dad now
