Story Behind The Song

Just thought I'd write a song that was somewhat of a woman's take on a song like I can Still make Cheyenne

Song Description

Both sides of a love affair that is made increasingly harder by the guys pursuit of the rodeo

Lyrics

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch

You see each other maybe two times every month
You're always on the road with your rodeo bunch
You call her after the rodeo every Saturday night
But she ends up saying something wrong and you end up in a fight

Every other week you send a letter
With a little money and a promise things will get better
You promise you're being true to her and she wants to believe its true
But she knows when youre away from home you can get lonely too

Chorus
Meanwhile back at the ranch your filly's getting restless
She longs for the days when your kisses left her breathless
The grass on the other side of the fence is getting greener every day
And meanwhile back at the ranch she's slipping away

You say you've got to work hard to make your dreams come true
And you tell her if she loves you it'll be her dream too
She sits and wonders what you do if you came home one day
To an empty house where your children might have one day played

Chorus
Meanwhile back at the ranch your filly's getting restless
She longs for the days when your kisses left her breathless
The grass on the other side of the fence is getting greener every day
And meanwhile back at the ranch she's slipping away
Meanwhile back at the ranch she's slippin away
