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