Took my last fall in San DiegoBus headed north, one headed southI call a farm in ColoradoI lift the dusty pay phone to my mouthShe says, "Hello", I say, "It's me, honSorry I stayed away so longTell the kids their old man's through with playin' rodeo'Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home"Well there's silence on the line, said, "You sure did take your timeBut I still need a man for the things a man is good forYou know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kidsDemands a man at least as fit as you are""So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to doI hope you've finally found your mind to leave that rodeo behindI've spent half my life just waitin' here for you"I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her"Hon I've got this friend that's here with meHe used to be a cowboy and a good one so they sayBut now his legs are crippled he can't walk, you see""But hon you ought to hear him tell his storiesSing the old songs play the guitar tooAnd I'd really like to show him ColoradoBut I thought I'd better leave it up to you"Well there's silence on the line and now I hear her sayin'"Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good forAnd you know how it is a place just half this bigDemands a man at least as fit as you are""Put yourself in his place, it'd awful hard to faceAll the chores and work and nothing he could doDo you wanna know my mind? Leave that rodeo bum behindDon't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you"Cryin's just for kids, I put down the phoneFumble with my crutches movin' slowI wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado boundAnd I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
