I can still make Cheyenne
 
 D G
1. Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine,
D A G
 she heard his voice on the other end of the line,
  A
 she wondered what was wrong this time.
D G
 She never knew what his calls might bring,
 D A
 with a cowboy like him it could be anything,
 G A D - A
 and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
 
 D G
2. He said, it's cold out here and I'm all alone,
D A G
 I didn't make the short go, again, and I'm coming home,
 A
 I know I've been away too long.
D G
 I never got a chance to write or call,
D A
 and I know this rodeo has been hard on us all,
 G A  D
 but I'll be home soon and, honey, is there something wrong ?
 
G A
 She said don't bother comin' home,
 Bm A G
 by the time you get here I'll be long gone,
 D A G 
 there's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man.
A-G A
 He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this,
 Bm A G
 there's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
 D A G
 But it's alright, baba, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
  D A G - A
 Gotta go now, baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
 
 D G
3. He left that phone danglin' off the hook,
D  A G
 then he slowly turned and gave it one last look,
 A
 then he just walked away.
D G
 He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line,
 D A
 with a little luck he could still get there in time,
 G A D
 and in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.
 
+ CHORUS
 
D G
 She never knew what his calls might bring,

 and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
