[G] [D] [Bm]
[D] took [G] my last fall in San [A] Diego,
[G] [D] bus headed [G] north, one headed [C] south.
[A] I [G]
[A] called the farm in [D] Colorado, [Bm]
[E] and I left the dusty payphone to my [A] mouth.

[D] Well there's silence on the line, she said you sure did take your time.
But I still need a man for the things a [A] man is good for.
[Am] And you know how it is, [C] raising crops and raising kids [G]
demands a [A] man at least as fit [D] as you are.
She said come on, get on home, there's hay in need of mowing.
A boy that needs a whipping and a hundred [A] things to do.

[Am] And you know how it is, [C] a place just half this big [G] demands a [A] man at least as [D] fit as you are.
Put yourself in his place, it'd be awful hard to face.
All the chores at work and nothing [A] he could do.
Do [Am] you want to know my mind, [G] leave [C] the rodeo bum behind.
