《Silence On The Line》歌词

[00:00:14] Took my last fall in San Diego

[00:00:20] Bus headed north one headed south

[00:00:26] I call a farm in Colorado

[00:00:31] And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth

[00:00:37] She says hello I say it's me hon

[00:00:43] Sorry I stayed away so long

[00:00:48] Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo

[00:00:54] Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home

[00:01:01] Well there's silence on the line

[00:01:04] She says you sure did take your time

[00:01:07] But I still need a man for the things a man is good for

[00:01:15] You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids

[00:01:20] Demands a man at least as fit as you are

[00:01:26] So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'

[00:01:31] A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do

[00:01:38] I hope you've finally found your mind

[00:01:41] To leave that rodeo behind

[00:01:44] I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you

[00:01:53] I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her

[00:01:59] Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me

[00:02:04] He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say

[00:02:11] 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

[00:02:22] Sing the old songs play the guitar too

[00:02:27] I'd really like to show him Colorado

[00:02:34] But I thought I'd better leave it up to you

[00:02:40] Well there's silence on the line

[00:02:44] And now I hear her sayin'

[00:02:46] Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for

[00:02:54] And you know how it is a place just half this big

[00:02:59] Demands a man at least as fit as you are

[00:03:05] Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face

[00:03:10] All the chores and work and nothing he could do

[00:03:15] If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind

[00:03:21] Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you

[00:03:31] Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone

[00:03:36] Fumble with my crutches movin' slow

[00:03:41] I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound

[00:03:47] And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
