[Verse 1]
Brahmas and mustangs, warm summer rain
Indian paintbrush looming again
On two million acres, all of it was green
And I'm prayin' that you'll answer when that phone starts to ring
Now the snow-covered peaks stand white against the sky
Santa Rosa's turning, summer's gone by
My horses are tired, I'm about through
And I find myself thinking all the time about you

[Chorus]
Did I stay too long? Did I play too long? Did I whisper in my dreams?
All the thing is, life ain't what it seems
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
All the thing is, life ain't what it seems

[Verse 2]
There's a payphone in paradise out on the edge of town
Big cottonwood trees, golden leaves falling down
I wait a little longer, give it one more try
Please try your call latеr means cowboy goodbye

[Chorus]
Did I stay too long? Did I play too long? Did I whisper in my drеams?
All the thing is, life ain't what it seems
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
All the thing is, life ain't what it seems
