"Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt. It was released in May 1991 as the lead-off single to his album It's All About to Change. It peaked at number 2 in both the United States[1] and Canada. This is one of Tritt’s most popular songs. When he would perform the song live, members of the audience would often throw actual quarters on stage, many striking Tritt.
Content
The narrator speaks of a former significant other who regrets leaving him, and now wants to include herself in his life once again. However, the narrator no longer trusts her because of her actions.
In response, he gives her a quarter (in 1991, the common price for a local pay telephone call) and tells her to phone someone else who cares to listen.
