Silence on The Line — текст песни (Chris Ledoux)

Took my last fall in san diego

Bus headed north one headed south

I call a farm in colorado

And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth





She says hello I say its me hon

Sorry I stayed away so long

Tell the kids thier old mans through with playin rodeo

Cause if its alright with you Im comin home



Well theres silence on the line

She says you sure did take your time

But I still need a man for the things a man is good for

You know how it is raisin crops and raisin kids

Demands a man at least as fit as you are

So come on git on home theres hay that needs a mowin

A boy that needs a whippin and a hundred things to do

I hope youve finally found your mind

To leave that rodeo behind

Ive spent half my life just waitin here for you





I guess that nows the time Id better tell her

Hon Ive got this old friend thats here with me

He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say

But now his legs are crippled he cant walk you see

But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories

Sing the old songs play the guitar too

Id really like to show him colorado

But I thought Id better leave it up to you



Well theres silence on the line

And now I hear her sayin

Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for

And you know how it is a place just half this big

Demands a man at least as fit as you are

Put yourself in his place itd awful hard to face

All the chores and work and nothing he could do

If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind

Dont waste our time Im waitin here for you





Well cryins just for kids I put down the phone

Fumble with my crutches movin slow

I wish that I was on the bus thats colorado bound

And I hope the weathers nice in mexico
