her telephone rang
bout 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
him it could be anything
she always expected the
worst in the back of her mind
he said its cold out
here and i'm all alone
i miss you and
i'm comming home
i know i'v been
away to long
i never got a chance
to write a card
i know this
has been hard on us all
but i'll be home soon
hunny is there something wrong
she said don't
bother comming home
by the time you get
here i'll be long gone
theres somebody new
he left that phone
dangling of the hook
then slowly turned around
and gave it one last look
then he juss walked away
