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 straight 'A', laced And level-headed as they And parked at the Sonic, isn't ironic my whole world came undone
One slot over was a calf Giving me his Strait smile And I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes Was two steppin', runnin'
Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' He was fruit in them 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
Well said, "He's crazy", daddy says, "He's lazy" said, "Does he have 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 the clock It was in the makin' Eggs and bacon at the seventy-six shop
Back in my cowboy days, Lord a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we were two on the run that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd never give him up in my cowboy days
Sometimes I lay here 'bout him And laugh about my past Then I over and kiss the calf roper And who'da though it'd last
Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a haze He was forbidden fruit in them Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all dangerous fun, we were two on the run Tastin' that rodeo dust, two in love Oh, I swore I'd never give him up back in my days
