Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I t[F]ook[G][F]
[C][F][G][F]
[C]my
last [F]walk in San [G]Diego[F]
[C]Bus headed north,
[F]one headed sou[Gm]th[G]
[F]I called a f[G]arm in Colorado
[C]And [D]I lift the dusty
payphone to my [G]mouth
[Am]She [G]says[C], hello,
[F]I said, it's me,[G] hon[F]
[C]I'm sorry I [F]stayed away so [Bb]long
[G]Tell the [F]kids that they're old [G]mans
through playin' [C]rodeo
[D]Cause if it's alright with you,
I'm comin' [G]home
well there's [C]si lence on the line
she said you sure did take your time
but i still need a man
for the things a man is good [G]for
because you know [Gm]how it is
raising [Bb]crops and raising kids
Demand[F]s a man at l[G]east as fit as y[C]ou are
So come on, get on home
There's hay in need of mowin'
And a boy that needs a whippin'
And a hundred things to [G]do
I hope you finally [Gm]found your mind
Leave that [Bb]rodeo behind
I spent [F]half my life
just [G]waitin' here for [C]you[F][C]
I guess now's [F]the time, I better [G]tell her
[F]Hon, [C]I've got thi[F]s friend
that's here with [Gm]me
[G]He [F]used to be a cowboy
[G]an d [C]a good one, so they say
[F]But [C]now[D] his legs are crippled,
[G]he can't walk, you see
[Am]But [G]hon,[C]
you ought to hear [F]him tell [G]his story[F]
[C]Sing the old song[F]s, play the guitar too
[Bb]An d[G] I'd reall[F]y like to show him C[G]olorado
[C]But[D] I thought I better leave it up to you
[G]Wel[F]l the[G]re's silence [C]on the line
And now I hear a saying,
babe, I only need a man
For the things a man is good [G]for
You know [Gm]how it is,
just [Bb]a place that's half as big
Demand[F]s a man at l[G]east as fit as y[C]ou are
Put yourself in his place,
it'd be awful hard to face
All the chores and work
and nothing he [G]can do
If you wanna know [Gm]my mind
Leave that [Bb]rodeo bum behind
Don't [F]waste our time,
I'm [G]waiting here for [C]you[F][C]
Well, crying's just [F]for kids
I [G]hung up the [F]phone
[C]Fumbled with my [F]crutches, movin' slow
[Bb]I wi[G]sh t[F]hat I was on the[G] bus
that's [C]Color[G]ado bound
[Am]And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
