Here is some background information on Thomas Rhett from the Something To Do With My Hands Songfacts. Thomas Rhett grew up in the music industry by means of his singer-songwriter father Rhett Akins. Whilst studying business and communications at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Rhett formed a cover band and began playing frat parties and other gigs they could get. His dad persuaded him to take the stage one night at a Nashville showcase, and EMI Music's Ben Vaughn, the same publisher who had signed his father many years earlier, offered Rhett a publishing deal.
Rhett co-wrote the song "I Ain't Ready to Quit" on Jason Aldean's 2010 album My Kinda Party and signed a recording contract with Big Machine Records' Valory Music Group division in 2011.[2] In early 2012, he released his debut single, "Something to Do with My Hands". The song received a positive review from Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes, who called it "clever, but not so cheeky that the joke tires after a listen or three."[3]
Call Me Up
Thomas Rhett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the same old band on the bar marquee, call me up
If you're climbin' the walls, baby we could hang, hang, hang
If you're ridin' around this re-run town
And you need a little company baby, call me up
Hit me up, tell ya what, it ain't no thang thang thang
Call me up
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Hey why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And I'll pick right up
When you're startin' at the same ol ceiling
And you're watching the fan go 'round and round call me up
Whatcha waitin' on girl give me a ring, ring, ring
I'll flip the script, I'll hit the switch
When that bottle of wine ain't doin' the trick, baby get your fix
Girl let your lips say my name, name, name
Call me up
Yeah I'm down if you feel like messin' around
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Hey why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And I'll pick right up
When you're twistin' your hair with your feet up on the couch
Don't wanna go nowhere or if ya wanna get out
Call me up
Yeah I'm down if you feel like messin' around
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And say what's up
Get out your phone girl if you're home alone girl
Don't ya know girl, all you gotta do is call me up
Yeah, call me up
