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