Text File
D G
Her telephone rang bout a quarter to nine
D A G
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
A
She wondered what was wrong this time
D G
She never knew what his calls might bring
D A G
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
A
And she always expected the worst
D Dsus4
In the back of her mind
He said, it's cold out here and Im all alone
I didn't make the short go, again and Im coming home
I know Ive been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there somethin wrong
Chorus:
G A D
She said, don't bother comin home
G D A G A
By time you get here I'll be long gone
D A G
There's somebody new and he sure aint no rodeo man
G A D
He said, Im sorry it's come down to this
G D A G A
There's so much about you that Im gonna miss
D
But it's alright baby
A G
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
D
Gotta go now baby
A G
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
He left that phone danglin off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
Chorus:
She said, don't bother comin home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure aint no rodeo man
He said, Im sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that Im gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind
