If I wire you the money-
Will you catch a plane,
And meet me next week,
In Cheyenne?

The circuit is different-
My luck has all changed...
I need you here with me
To win.

The days we were younger-
Now lay far behind...
I should have grown up
I suppose.

But I'm crowding fifty-
One thing on my mind...
To ride in the
Pro rodeos.

So please say you'll be there-
To give it one chance...
I'll ride if you're there
In the stands.

And after the short go-
We'll go to the dance...
For you're still my girl
I'm your man.

well I sure hope she'd catch that plane and come to you. I like your style!
Don't worry, things have a way of working themselves out.
