Signs On The Line Lyrics

I've got a happy marriage I get along well with Ray He drives an eighteen-wheeler From here to Santa Fe (He can be gone such a long time...) I've made discreet arrangements To pass the lonely hours When Ray's away on business I'm not just pickin' flowers Ohhh-- Signs on the line Ohhh-- Signs on the line I've got myself a lover He lives across the street We've got a special signal When it's discreet to meet (I don't want to cause trouble with Ray) When I hang out my laundry The sign is on the line When there's red panties drying He knows what's on my mind Ohhh-- Signs on the line Ohhh-- Signs on the line One day Ray came home smiling He said he had a surprise I looked out in the driveway And could not believe my eyes (A clothes dryer!) My husband is so thoughtful But I made him take back that thing I'm just an old-fashioned girl I can't deal with static cling Ohhh-- Signs on the line Ohhh-- Signs on the line
