John Wesley Harding - Spaced Cowgirl lyrics

Well you can dance on tv with your diamonds on

Sing in tune for a world that is going for a song

Get the steps all right but the words go wrong

And you can wake up in the morning with sweaty hands

Turn the radio on to the right waveband

Think about today and the one that you planned

Under the desperate gaze of the whole wide world

You turned into a spaced cowgirl

Spaced Cowgirl

Lock up the medicine chest

This wild wild woman is way out west

Spaced Cowgirl

Lock up the reins and the spurs

None of you cowboys are true to her

Well, you can be a good lover, hammer nails into hearts

And you can be a big loser when the real horror starts

You can blow hot and cold on the sacred graph

You had a good evening but you don't know where

All you recall is a fall guy with an up for sale stare

Fell down by the bed and not to say your prayers

Under the watchful eye....

Sometimes I listen to you, it's the whiskey talking

Sometimes I watch you move and it's the whiskey walking

Sometimes I sit and think of the things that might have been

Well, your eyes never open, when you sleep they don't close

And it rained so hard and your a delicate rose

Then it got so cold that your feelings froze

No, I still don't believe in all your second sight

The automatic pilot flies your eyes tonight

Smile at the bird, we'll get you home alright

(alright)

Under the watchful eye...

Spaced Cowgirl

Lock up the medicine chest

There's no frontier left way out west

Spaced Cowgirl

Wasn't she the first to say

I can't remember my lines today....
