Took my last fall in San Diego[00:00:14]
Bus headed north one headed south[00:00:20]
I call a farm in Colorado[00:00:26]
And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth[00:00:31]
She says hello I say it's me hon[00:00:37]
Sorry I stayed away so long[00:00:43]
Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo[00:00:48]
Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home[00:00:54]
Well there's silence on the line[00:01:01]
She says you sure did take your time[00:01:04]
But I still need a man for the things a man is good for[00:01:07]
You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids[00:01:15]
Demands a man at least as fit as you are[00:01:20]
So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'[00:01:26]
A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do[00:01:31]
I hope you've finally found your mind[00:01:38]
To leave that rodeo behind[00:01:41]
I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you[00:01:44]
I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her[00:01:53]
Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me[00:01:59]
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say[00:02:04]
But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see[00:02:11]
But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories[00:02:16]
Sing the old songs play the guitar too[00:02:22]
I'd really like to show him Colorado[00:02:27]
But I thought I'd better leave it up to you[00:02:34]
Well there's silence on the line[00:02:40]
And now I hear her sayin'[00:02:44]
Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for[00:02:46]
And you know how it is a place just half this big[00:02:54]
Demands a man at least as fit as you are[00:02:59]
Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face[00:03:05]
All the chores and work and nothing he could do[00:03:10]
If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind[00:03:15]
Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you[00:03:21]
Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone[00:03:31]
Fumble with my crutches movin' slow[00:03:36]
I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound[00:03:41]
And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico[00:03:47]
