TERRI CLARK - Cowboy Days lyrics

I was third alton on the second row of the First Baptist church choir

I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri Delts, in charge of the homecoming bonfire

I was a staight 'A', straight laced, level-headed as they come

And parked at the Sonic, isn't that ironic, when my whole world came undone

One slot over was a calf roper gibeing me his Geoge Strait smile

And before I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes was two0steppin', runnin' wild

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' haze

He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots

It was all dangerous fun, we were two outlaws on the run

Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love

I swore I'd never give him up, back in my cowboy days

Well, Mama said, "He's crazy" Daddy says, "He's lazy"

Sister said, "Does he have a brother?"

Well, I changed my dress and who woulda guessed

I'd be wearin' them jeans and ropers

It was passionate nights and dashboard light

Nobody was watchin' the clock

It was love in the makin'

Eggs and bacon at the Seventy-Six truck shop

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' haze

He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots

It was all dangerous fun, we were two outlaws on the run

Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love

I swore I'd never give him up, back in my cowboy days

Sometimes I lay here thinkin' 'bout him

And laugh about my crazy past

Then I roll over and kiss the calf roper

Who'da though it'd ever last

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky-tonkin' haze
