I Can Still Make it to Cheyenne (George Straight)<BR>Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine<BR>She heard his voice on the other end of the line<BR>She wondered what was wrong this time<BR>She never knew what his calls might bring<BR>With a cowboy like him it could be anything<BR>And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind<BR><BR>He said it's cold cut here and I'm all alone<BR>I didn't make the short go again, and I'm coming home<BR>I know I've been away too long<BR>I never got a chance to write or call<BR>And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all<BR>But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?<BR><BR>Chorus:<BR>She said don't bother comin' home<BR>By the time you get here I'll be long gone<BR>There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man<BR>He said I'm sorry it's come down to this<BR>There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss<BR>But It's alright honey if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne<BR>Gotta go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne<BR><BR>He left that phone danglin' off the hook<BR>Then he slowly turned around and gave it one last look<BR>The he just walked away<BR>He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line<BR>With a little luck he could get there in time<BR>And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say<BR><BR>Repeat Chorus <BR>She never what his calls might bring<BR>With a cowboy like him it could be anything<BR>And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.<BR><BR>
