Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,

I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to
send it in until now.  The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did
it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes
tour.  Anyhoo, Enjoy!
