I was third on the second row Of the Baptist Church choir I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri In charge of the bonfire
I was a straight 'A', laced And level-headed as come And at the Sonic, isn't that ironic When my world came undone
One slot over was a roper Giving me his George smile And before I Miss Good-Two-Shoes Was two steppin', wild
Back in my cowboy days, Lord a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in tight Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we two outlaws on the run Tastin' that rodeo dust, two in love I swore I'd never give him up back in my days
mama said, "He's crazy", daddy says, "He's lazy" Sister said, "Does he a brother?" Well I've changed my and who woulda guessed I'd be wearin' jeans and ropers
It was passionate and dashboard light Nobody was the clock It was love in the Eggs and bacon at the truck shop
Back in my cowboy days, Lord a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them tight 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 never give him up back in my cowboy
I lay here thinkin' 'bout him And about my crazy past Then I over and kiss the calf roper And though it'd ever last
in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky-tonkin' haze He was forbidden in them tight Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we two outlaws on the run Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in Oh, I swore I'd never him up back in my cowboy days
