Lyrics
He's on the phone
He's engaged in a phone call.
But its probably another wrong number
The call he received is likely a mistake or a wrong number.
And he's all alone
He is currently by himself.
But as life goes on he's only gettin' dumber
As time passes, his lack of intelligence or understanding increases.
He's on his way home
He's heading back to his residence.
Yeah he's on his way home
Repetition emphasizing his journey home.
Yeah he's on his way home
Further emphasis on his way home.
(He's going home)
Reiteration of him going home.
Yeah, he's on his way home
Confirmation that he's still on his way home.
Yeah he's on his way home
Continued confirmation of his journey home.
From the job at the site
He's returning from his job at a construction site.
Before he hangs up the phone
Before ending the call, he receives gratitude.
She says thanks so much
A positive expression on his face due to the gratitude received.
Which puts a smile on his face
He arrives at his residence and prepares to enter.
