I was third on the second row Of the first Baptist choir I was of the minutes for the Tri Delts In charge of the bonfire
I was a 'A', straight laced And level-headed as come And parked at the Sonic, that ironic When my world came undone
One over was a calf roper Giving me his George Strait And before I knew Good-Two-Shoes Was two steppin', runnin'
Back in my cowboy days, what a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them tight and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we two outlaws on the run that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd never give him up back in my days
Well mama said, "He's crazy", says, "He's lazy" Sister said, "Does he a brother?" Well changed 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 love in the Eggs and at the seventy-six truck shop
Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' He was forbidden in them tight Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all fun, we were two outlaws on the run that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love I I'd never give him up back in my cowboy days
I lay here thinkin' 'bout him And laugh my crazy past Then I roll over and kiss the calf And who'da though 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 dangerous fun, we were two on the run Tastin' that dust, two unliklies in love Oh, I swore I'd give him up back in my cowboy days
