It was released August 23, 1972 and was the second single released from his album ''You Don't Mess Around with Jim''. It reached a peak of 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1972 after spending twelve weeks on the chart.
==Content==
The song relates one side of a conversation with a telephone operator. The speaker is trying to find the phone number of his former lover, who has moved to Los Angeles with his former best friend. He wants to confront her, telling her he is well and over her betrayal of him, but admits to the operator that he isn't. After the operator has given him the number, he is unable to read it, apparently due to the tears in his eyes. He then changes his mind and tells the operator not to place the call, appreciatively adding "you can keep the dime" (standard toll he'd deposited ).
The story was inspired during Jim Croce's military service, where he saw lines of soldiers waiting to use the outdoor phone on base, many of them calling their wife or girlfriend to see if their Dear John letter was true.〔http://www.redroaddesign.com/croce/liner_1c.html〕
