Cowboy Days — текст песни (Terri Clark)

(Leslie Satcher & Kent Blazy)

I was third alto on the second row of the First Baptist Church choir
I was keeper of the minutes of the Tri Delts, In charge of the
homecoming bonfire
I was a straight 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 giving me his George Strait smile
And before I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes was two-steppin`, runnin` wild.

Chorus:
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 unlikelies in love
I swore I`d never give him up, back in my cowboy days.

Well, Mama said, He`s crazy. Daddy said, 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 lights
Nobody was watchin` the clock
It was love in the makin`
Eggs and bacon at the Seventy-Six truck stop.

Chorus:
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 unlikelies 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 thought it`d ever last.

Chorus:
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 unlikelies in love
I swore I`d never give him up, back in my cowboy days...
