Vern Gosdin - The Number He Gave Me Was Mine Lyrics

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
