Rosie (Do You Want To Talk It Over)

I know I'm not the first man
To earn his living working rodeos
And Rosie's not the first girl
To try to make an empty house a home

I recall the first time I heard her cry
A thousand miles away
And I cursed the miles between us
Swore it wouldn't always be this way

Rosie do you wanna talk it over
I'll come home and we can work things out
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
She said no just stay in Houston
It really ain't no big thing
I just need some time to work things out

Every time I pick my saddle up
I know that lonely finds my Rosie's door
Lord, you know a traveling man
Can't give his woman what she hungers for

I win a first in Denver
Then the average in Ft. Worth and San Antone
Every year my name gets bigger
Lord I wish I was doing half that good at home

Now I wish I had a dollar
Every time I've heard the grandstands roar
Or a dime for every phone call
When we don't say "I love you" anymore

And the day when I called Rosie
Lord, you know she sounded awful low
And I cursed the miles between us
'Cause Rosie just can't take it anymore

Rosie do you wanna talk it over
I'll come home and we can work things out
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
She said no just stay in Houston

Last night I found another
It's gone too far
For us to work things out

Rosie do you wanna talk it over
I'll come home and we can work things out
Rosie do you wanna talk it over
Has it gone too far
For us to work things out
Rosie don't you wanna talk it over
