[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] He said, Its cold out here and Im all alone I didnt make the short go again and Im coming home I know Ive 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 Ill be home soon and honey is there something wrong? [Chorus] She said, Dont bother coming home By the time you get here Ill be long gone Theres somebody new and he sure aint no rodeo man. He said, Im sorry its come down to this Theres so much about you that Im gonna miss But its alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne [Verse 3] He left that phone dangling 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 [Chorus] She said, Dont bother coming home By the time you get here Ill be long gone Theres somebody new and he sure aint no rodeo man. He said, Im sorry its come down to this Theres so much about you that Im gonna miss But its alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
