[00:08.00]
[00:11.95]Took my last fall in San Diego
[00:17.72]Bus headed north one headed south
[00:23.50]I call a farm in Colorado
[00:29.23]And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth
[00:35.27]She says hello I say it's me hon
[00:41.10]Sorry I stayed away so long
[00:46.80]Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo
[00:52.63]Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home
[02:35.83][00:58.11]Well there's silence on the line
[01:01.55]She says you sure did take your time
[01:04.38]But I still need a man for the things a man is good for
[01:11.66]You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids
[02:54.78][01:17.38]Demands a man at least as fit as you are
[01:22.96]So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'
[01:28.43]A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do
[01:34.10]I hope you've finally found your mind
[01:37.81]To leave that rodeo behind
[01:40.64]I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you
[01:49.28]I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her
[01:55.50]Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me
[02:01.13]He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say
[02:07.03]But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see
[02:12.58]But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
[02:18.38]Sing the old songs play the guitar too
[02:24.23]I'd really like to show him Colorado
[02:29.67]But I thought I'd better leave it up to you
[02:39.42]And now I hear her sayin'
[02:42.05]Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for
[02:49.33]And you know how it is a place just half this big
[03:00.11]Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face
[03:05.63]All the chores and work and nothing he could do
[03:11.18]If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
[03:17.00]Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you
[03:25.61]Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone
[03:31.71]Fumble with my crutches movin' slow
[03:37.65]I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound
[03:43.28]And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
