Silence On The Line - Chris Ledoux

[00:00.000] 作词 : Whipple
[00:12.010]Took my last fall in San Diego
[00:17.900]Bus headed north one headed south
[00:24.030]I call a farm in Colorado
[00:29.040]And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth
[00:35.600]She says hello I say it's me hon
[00:41.470]Sorry I stayed away so long
[00:46.530]Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo
[00:52.780]Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home
[00:59.530]Well there's silence on the line
[01:02.290]She says you sure did take your time
[01:04.860]But I still need a man for the things a man is good for
[01:12.130]You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids
[01:17.270]Demands a man at least as fit as you are
[01:23.030]So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'
[01:28.650]A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do
[01:34.970]I hope you've finally found your mind
[01:38.030]To leave that rodeo behind
[01:40.720]I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you
[01:50.480]I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her
[01:56.100]Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me
[02:01.530]He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say
[02:07.790]But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see
[02:13.280]But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
[02:19.100]Sing the old songs play the guitar too
[02:24.060]I'd really like to show him Colorado
[02:30.120]But I thought I'd better leave it up to you
[02:36.990]Well there's silence on the line
[02:40.310]And now I hear her sayin'
[02:42.930]Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for
[02:50.120]And you know how it is a place just half this big
[02:55.810]Demands a man at least as fit as you are
[03:01.200]Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face
[03:06.200]All the chores and work and nothing he could do
[03:12.020]If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
[03:17.450]Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you
[03:27.140]Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone
[03:32.770]Fumble with my crutches movin' slow
[03:37.950]I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound
[03:43.640]And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
