[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
The telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
D A G
I heard his voice on the other end of the line
A
And wondered what was wrong this time
D G
I never knew what his calls might bring
D A
A cowboy like him, it could be anything
G A D A
And I always expected the worst in the back of my mind
[Verse 2]
D G
I said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone
D A G
Didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
A
I know I've been away too long
D G
I never got a chance to write or call
D A
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
G A D
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"
[Chorus]
G A
She said, "Don't bother coming home
Bm A G
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
D A G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
A
Said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
Bm A G
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
D A G
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
D A G A
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
[Verse 3]
D G
I left that phone dangling off the hook
D A G
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
A
Then I just walked away
D G
Aimed my truck toward that Wyoming line
D A
With a little luck I could still get there in time
G A D
And in that Cheyenne wind I could still hear you say
[Chorus]
G A
She said, "Don't bother coming home
Bm A G
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
D A G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
A
Said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this
Bm A G
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
D A G
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
D A G A
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
[Outro]
D G
She never knew what his calls might bring
D A
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
G A D
She always expected the worst in the back of her mind
