Silence On the Line - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
Took my last fall in San Diego[00:00:12]
Bus headed north one headed south[00:00:17]
I call a farm in Colorado[00:00:23]
I lift the dusty pay phone to my mouth[00:00:28]
She says "Hello" I say "It's me hon[00:00:35]
Sorry I stayed away so long[00:00:40]
Tell the kids their old man's through with playin' rodeo[00:00:46]
'Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home"[00:00:51]
Well there's silence on the line said "You sure did take your time[00:00:57]
But I still need a man for the things a man is good for[00:01:03]
You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids[00:01:10]
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'[00:01:21]
A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do[00:01:27]
I hope you've finally found your mind to leave that rodeo behind[00:01:34]
I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you"[00:01:40]
I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her[00:01:49]
"Hon I've got this friend that's here with me[00:01:55]
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say[00:02:01]
But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see"[00:02:06]
"But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories[00:02:12]
Sing the old songs play the guitar too[00:02:18]
And I'd really like to show him Colorado[00:02:23]
But I thought I'd better leave it up to you"[00:02:29]
Well there's silence on the line and now I hear her sayin'[00:02:34]
"Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for[00:02:40]
And you know how it is a place just half this big[00:02:48]
Demands a man at least as fit as you are"[00:02:53]
"Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face[00:02:59]
All the chores and work and nothing he could do[00:03:05]
Do you wanna know my mind Leave that rodeo bum behind[00:03:11]
Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you"[00:03:16]
Cryin's just for kids I put down the phone[00:03:26]
Fumble with my crutches movin' slow[00:03:31]
I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound[00:03:37]
And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico[00:03:42]
