I Can Still Make Cheyenne - Max McNown & Grace Tyler

Her telephone rang '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 him, it could be anything And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone Didn't make the short go again and I'm comin' home I know I've been away too long I never got a chance to write or call I know this rodeo has been hard on us all But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?" She said, "Don't bother comin' home By the time you get here I'll be long gone There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man" He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss But it's all right 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 danglin' 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 can still get there in time And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say She said, "Don't bother comin' home By the time you get here I'll be long gone There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man" He said, "I'm sorry it's came down to this There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss But it's all right 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 him, it could be anything And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind

I'll need time to get you off my mind And I may sometimes bother you Try to be in touch with you Even ask too much of you from time to time Now and then, Lord ya know I'm gonna need a friend 'Til I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you 'Til I can make it on my own I'll get by but no matter how I try There'll be times you know I'll call Chances are my tears will fall And I'll have no pride at all from time to time But they say, oh there'll be a brighter day That's all I mean to do 'Til I can make it on my own Surely someday I'll wake up and see the mornin' sun Without another lonely night behind me Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done No more hurtin' memories can find me But 'til then, Lord ya know I'm gonna need a friend 'Til I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you 'Til I can make it on my own 'Til I can make it on my own

Watch me wait, wait for time I stopped moving when I fell behind Watch me stand in the shade While I crave the light Ooh, how I cling to hope When will I bear my soul? Oh, when will I love someone? I thought I knew the rules I thought I knew what I had to do Wash away tears in rain All my sorrows, they remain the same I still ask them to stay As the days unwind Ooh, how I cling to hope When will I bear my soul? Oh, when will I love someone? I thought I knew the rules I thought I knew what I had to do In this eager fantasy Everything I think I need All the things I've yet to see Ooh, how I cling to hope When will I bear my soul? Oh, when will I love someone? I thought I knew the rules I thought I knew what I had to do

I've been stargazing Contemplating Is there somewhere I belong Been here and there Almost everywhere But it never feels like home But the world is calling And now I'm all in I believe I believe There's a place for everyone And now I'm going Without knowing Where I might end up Where I will find a home I'm guided by sunlight And the stars are bright at night And if the wind is on my side Yeah I will make it I ain't afraid to cross the sky I ain't afraid to go through fire And if the odds are on my side Yeah I will make it It might take a day or a 113 years But I ain't afraid to spend the rest of my days Cause it's not about the foes or bumps on the road But it's all about the friends and love You find find along the way And now I'm going Without knowing Where I might end up Where I will find a home I'm guided by sunlight And the stars are bright at night And if the wind is on my side Yeah I will make it I ain't afraid to cross the sky I ain't afraid to go through fire And if the odds are on my side Yeah I'll will make it And now I'm going Without knowing Where I might end up Where I will find a home I'm guided by sunlight And the stars are bright at night And if the wind is on my side Yeah I will make it I ain't afraid to cross the sky I ain't afraid to go through fire And if the odds are on my side Yeah I'll will make it
