[00:00.00] 作词 : Whipple
[00:14.11]Took my last fall in San Diego
[00:20.00]Bus headed north one headed south
[00:26.13]I call a farm in Colorado
[00:31.14]And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth
[00:37.70]She says hello I say it's me hon
[00:43.57]Sorry I stayed away so long
[00:48.63]Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo
[00:54.88]Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home
[01:01.63]Well there's silence on the line
[01:04.39]She says you sure did take your time
[01:07.56]But I still need a man for the things a man is good for
[01:15.13]You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids
[01:20.57]Demands a man at least as fit as you are
[01:26.33]So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'
[01:31.95]A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do
[01:38.27]I hope you've finally found your mind
[01:41.33]To leave that rodeo behind
[01:44.02]I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you
[01:53.78]I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her
[01:59.40]Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me
[02:04.83]He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say
[02:11.09]But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see
[02:16.58]But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
[02:22.40]Sing the old songs play the guitar too
[02:27.96]I'd really like to show him Colorado
[02:34.02]But I thought I'd better leave it up to you
[02:40.89]Well there's silence on the line
[02:44.21]And now I hear her sayin'
[02:46.83]Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for
[02:54.02]And you know how it is a place just half this big
[02:59.71]Demands a man at least as fit as you are
[03:05.10]Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face
[03:10.10]All the chores and work and nothing he could do
[03:15.92]If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
[03:21.35]Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you
[03:31.04]Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone
[03:36.67]Fumble with my crutches movin' slow
[03:41.85]I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound
[03:47.54]And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
