What is the meaning behind Phone Booth lyrics?

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, in his song 'Phone Booth', Robert Cray gives the listener an insight into the life of a lonely person and their desperate feelings via the metaphor of the phone booth with a scratched number on the wall, which represents no one is there to support or connect with the person in the new place. The constant mentions of being new in Chicago and not having anyone else to call at that time bring out the vivid picture of loneliness screaming for help in a moment of crisis. The lyrics of Phone booth mostly highlight broken hearts, anger, solitude, despair, and introspection. On one hand, the song communicates the necessity of loneliness and isolation, despair and seeking connection. The lyrics are full of references to loneliness and desperation, whereas alcohol is one of the elements used that would probably not be very suitable for younger kids. But since there is no profanity or extreme content, it can still be considered proper for older kids when accompanied by a parent's supervision.
