George Strait — I Can Still Make Cheyenne lyrics

Lyrics

Her telephone rang Ђ™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 himit could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind
He saiditЂ™s cold out here and IЂ™m all alone
I didnЂ™t make the short goagain and IЂ™m coming home
I know IЂ™ve 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 IЂ™ll be home soon
And honey is there somethinЂ™ wrong
She saiddonЂ™t bother cominЂ™ home
By time you get here IЂ™ll be long gone
ThereЂ™s somebody new and he sure ainЂ™t no rodeo man
He saidIЂ™m sorry itЂ™s come down to this
ThereЂ™s so much about you that IЂ™m gonna miss
But itЂ™s alright baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
He left that phone danglinЂ™ 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
She saiddonЂ™t bother cominЂ™ home
By time you get here IЂ™ll be long gone
ThereЂ™s somebody new and he sure ainЂ™t no rodeo man
He saidIЂ™m sorry itЂ™s come down to this
ThereЂ™s so much about you that IЂ™m gonna miss
But itЂ™s alright baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make cheyenne
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like himit could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind
