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