Can Still Make Cheyenne lyrics

Her telephone rang `bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind

He said, it`s cold out here and I`m all alone
I didn`t make the short go, again and I`m coming home
I know I`ve been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I`ll be home soon
And honey is there somethin` wrong

She said, don`t bother comin` home
By time you get here I`ll be long gone
There`s somebody new and he sure ain`t no rodeo man
He said, I`m sorry it`s come down to this
There`s so much about you that I`m gonna miss
But it`s alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

He left that phone danglin` off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say

She said, don`t bother comin` home
By time you get here I`ll be long gone
There`s somebody new and he sure ain`t no rodeo man
He said, I`m sorry it`s come down to this
There`s so much about you that I`m gonna miss
But it`s alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind
