How a western word would travel for a country mile

and forced my hand to play a truckin' game

Wishin' to be a cowboy all the while

Take me to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham

C / A- / F6a9 / / /

And a man was a man....

G / G /

Painted Lady with your painted face

Tell me bout your life in this painted place

Tell me with your lovin' lips and lovin' eyes

I can feel the pain, I can see the fears

on the painted cheeks that hide the tears

Of a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise

Talkin' bout a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise

Chorus
