Chris Ledoux - Silence On The Line

Chris Ledoux

Silence On The Line

Took my last fall in San Diego

Bus headed north, one headed south

I call a farm in Colorado

I lift the dusty pay phone to my mouth

She says, "Hello", I say, "It's me, hon

Sorry I stayed away so long

Tell the kids their old man's through with playin' rodeo

'Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home"

Well there's silence on the line, said, "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 there's hay that needs a mowin'

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

I hope you've finally found your mind to leave that rodeo behind

I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you"

I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her

"Hon I've got this friend that's here with me

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

But now his legs are crippled he can't walk, you see"

"But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories

Sing the old songs play the guitar too

And I'd really like to show him Colorado

But I thought I'd better leave it up to you"

Well there's 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, it'd awful hard to face

All the chores and work and nothing he could do

Do you wanna know my mind? Leave that rodeo bum behind

Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you"

Cryin's just for kids, I put down the phone

Fumble with my crutches movin' slow

I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound

And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico

Mirror lyrics:

And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico

I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound

Fumble with my crutches movin' slow

Cryin's just for kids, I put down the phone

Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you"

Do you wanna know my mind? Leave that rodeo bum behind

All the chores and work and nothing he could do

"Put yourself in his place, it'd awful hard to face

Demands a man at least as fit as you are"
