Took my last fall in San Diego[00:00:13]
Bus headed north one headed south[00:00:18]
I call a farm in Colorado[00:00:25]
And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth[00:00:29]
She says hello I say it's me hon[00:00:36]
Sorry I stayed away so long[00:00:42]
Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo[00:00:47]
Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home[00:00:53]
Well there's silence on the line[00:00:59]
She says you sure did take your time[00:01:02]
But I still need a man for the things a man is good for[00:01:05]
You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids[00:01:12]
Demands a man at least as fit as you are[00:01:16]
So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'[00:01:23]
A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do[00:01:29]
I hope you've finally found your mind[00:01:35]
To leave that rodeo behind[00:01:39]
I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you[00:01:41]
I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her[00:01:50]
Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me[00:01:56]
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say[00:02:02]
But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see[00:02:08]
But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories[00:02:16]
Sing the old songs play the guitar too[00:02:20]
I'd really like to show him Colorado[00:02:25]
But I thought I'd better leave it up to you[00:02:31]
Well there's silence on the line[00:02:37]
And now I hear her sayin'[00:02:40]
Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for[00:02:42]
And you know how it is a place just half this big[00:02:49]
Demands a man at least as fit as you are[00:02:55]
Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face[00:03:00]
All the chores and work and nothing he could do[00:03:06]
If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind[00:03:12]
Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you[00:03:17]
Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone[00:03:27]
Fumble with my crutches movin' slow[00:03:33]
I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound[00:03:38]
And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico[00:03:42]
