Her telephone rang about a quarter to nine
D9 A G
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
A
She wondered what was wrong this time
D9 G
She never knew what his calls might bring
D9 A
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
G A D9 A
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind
D9 G
He said its cold out here and I’m all alone.
D9 A G
Didn’t make the short go again and I’m coming home

I know I’ve been away to long
D9 G
I never got a chance to write or call
D9 A
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
G A D9

She said don’t bother coming home
D9 G
By the time you get here I’ll be long gone
D9 A G A
There is somebody new and he sure ain’t no rodeo man

He said I’m sorry it’s come down to this
D9 G
There is so much about you that I’m gonna miss
D9 A G
But it’s alright baby if I hurry I can still make cheyenne
D9 A G

D9 G
He left that phone dangling off the hook
D9 A G
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look

Then he just walked away
D9 G
He aimed his truck toward that wyoming line
D9 A
With a little luck he could still get there in time
G A D9 A
And in that cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
G A
She said don’t bother coming home
D9 G
By the time you get here I’ll be long gone

He said I’m sorry it’s come down to this
