I was third Alton on the row Of the first Baptist Church I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri In charge of the homecoming
I was a straight 'A', straight And level-headed as they And parked at the Sonic, isn't that When my world came undone
One over was a calf roper Giving me his George smile And I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes Was two steppin', runnin'
Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a tonkin' haze He was fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we were two on the run Tastin' that dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd give him up back in my cowboy days
Well said, "He's crazy", daddy says, "He's lazy" Sister said, "Does he a brother?" Well I've my dress and who woulda guessed I'd be wearin' them and ropers
It was nights and dashboard light Nobody was watchin' the It was in the makin' Eggs and at the seventy-six truck shop
in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we were two on the run Tastin' that dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd never give him up in my cowboy days
I lay here thinkin' 'bout him And laugh about my past Then I roll over and the calf roper And though it'd ever last
Back in my cowboy days, Lord a honky-tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and Oh, it was all fun, we were two outlaws on the run Tastin' that rodeo dust, two in love Oh, I swore I'd never him up back in my cowboy days
