Lyrics
she says you sure did take your time
I call a farm in colorado, i call a farm in colorado
But i thought i d better leave it up to you, put yourself in his place it d awful hard to face
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say, i call a farm in colorado
but hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
i hope you ve finally found your mind
sing the old songs play the guitar too
a boy that needs a whippin and a hundred things to do
demands a man at least as fit as you are
sing the old songs play the guitar too
But now his legs are crippled he can t walk you see, she says you sure did take your time, put yourself in his place it d awful hard to face
demands a man at least as fit as you are
Tell the kids thier old man s through with playin rodeo, hon i ve got this old friend that s here with me
A boy that needs a whippin and a hundred things to do, so come on git on home there s hay that needs a mowin, if you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
Well there s silence on the line, but now his legs are crippled he can t walk you see
I wish that i was on the bus that s colorado bound, well there s silence on the line
Cause if it s alright with you i m comin home, took my last fall in san diego, cause if it s alright with you i m comin home
I d really like to show him colorado, well there s silence on the line, i call a farm in colorado
Well there s silence on the line, but i thought i d better leave it up to you, and i lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth
she says you sure did take your time
tell the kids thier old man s through with playin rodeo
But i thought i d better leave it up to you, took my last fall in san diego
all the chores and work and nothing he could do
Sing the old songs play the guitar too, if you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
I guess that nows the time i d better tell her, sing the old songs play the guitar too, tell the kids thier old man s through with playin rodeo
Sorry i stayed away so long, i d really like to show him colorado Silence, hon i ve got this old friend that s here with me
And now i hear her sayin, and i lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth, bus headed north one headed south
cause if it s alright with you i m comin home
Took my last fall in san diego, but now his legs are crippled he can t walk you see, but now his legs are crippled he can t walk you see
All the chores and work and nothing he could do, tell the kids thier old man s through with playin rodeo, but i still need a man for the things a man is good for
a boy that needs a whippin and a hundred things to do
i hope you ve finally found your mind
And i hope the weather s nice in mexico, to leave that rodeo behind
Tell the kids thier old man s through with playin rodeo, to leave that rodeo behind, i hope you ve finally found your mind
Babe i only need a man for the things a man is good for, but hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
Babe i only need a man for the things a man is good for, but hon you ought to hear him tell his stories, i wish that i was on the bus that s colorado bound
I hope you ve finally found your mind, i call a farm in colorado
sorry i stayed away so long
Demands a man at least as fit as you are, hon i ve got this old friend that s here with me
Demands a man at least as fit as you are, cause if it s alright with you i m comin home, to leave that rodeo behind
if you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
You know how it is raisin crops and raisin kids, don t waste our time i m waitin here for you
But i thought i d better leave it up to you, i call a farm in colorado The, if you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
i hope you ve finally found your mind
Cause if it s alright with you i m comin home, hon i ve got this old friend that s here with me
And i lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth, babe i only need a man for the things a man is good for
I ve spent half my life just waitin here for you, put yourself in his place it d awful hard to face On, hon i ve got this old friend that s here with me
fumble with my crutches movin slow
And i hope the weather s nice in mexico, put yourself in his place it d awful hard to face Line, i hope you ve finally found your mind
Don t waste our time i m waitin here for you, demands a man at least as fit as you are
and now i hear her sayin
If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind, sing the old songs play the guitar too Silence, and i hope the weather s nice in mexico

And i hope the weather s nice in mexico, i ve spent half my life just waitin here for you, well there s silence on the line
