intro D G A

D G
her telephone rang ’bout a quarter to nine
D A G
she heard his voice on the other end of the line
A
she wondered what was wrong this time
D G
she never knew what his calls might bring
D A
with a cowboy like him it could be anything
G A D A
and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind

D G
he said , it’s cold out here and i’m all alone
D A G
i 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 comin’ home
D A G
by the time you get here i’ll be long gone
D A G A
there’s somebody new and he sure ain’t no rodeo man
G A
he said i’m sorry it’s come down to this
D A G
there’s so much about you that i’m gonna miss
D A G
but it’s alright honey if i hurry i can still make cheyenne
D A G A
gotta go now baby if i hurry i can still make cheyenne

D G
he left that phone danglin’ off the hook
D A G
then he slowly turned and gave it one last look
A
the he just walked away
D G
he aimed his truck toward that wyoming line
D A
with a little luck he could get there in time
G A D
and in that cheyenne wind he could still hear her say

repeat chorus

D G
she never what his calls might bring
D A
with a cowboy like him it could be anything
G A D
and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind
