《Silence On The Line》歌词

[00:00:13] Took my last fall in San Diego

[00:00:18] Bus headed north one headed south

[00:00:25] I call a farm in Colorado

[00:00:29] And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth

[00:00:36] She says hello I say it's me hon

[00:00:42] Sorry I stayed away so long

[00:00:47] Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo

[00:00:53] Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home

[00:00:59] Well there's silence on the line

[00:01:02] She says you sure did take your time

[00:01:05] But I still need a man for the things a man is good for

[00:01:12] You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids

[00:01:16] Demands a man at least as fit as you are

[00:01:23] So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'

[00:01:29] A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do

[00:01:35] I hope you've finally found your mind

[00:01:39] To leave that rodeo behind

[00:01:41] I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you

[00:01:50] I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her

[00:01:56] Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me

[00:02:02] He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say

[00:02:08] But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see

[00:02:16] But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories

[00:02:20] Sing the old songs play the guitar too

[00:02:25] I'd really like to show him Colorado

[00:02:31] But I thought I'd better leave it up to you

[00:02:37] Well there's silence on the line

[00:02:40] And now I hear her sayin'

[00:02:42] Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for

[00:02:49] And you know how it is a place just half this big

[00:02:55] Demands a man at least as fit as you are

[00:03:00] Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face

[00:03:06] All the chores and work and nothing he could do

[00:03:12] If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind

[00:03:17] Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you

[00:03:27] Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone

[00:03:33] Fumble with my crutches movin' slow

[00:03:38] I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound

[00:03:42] And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
