I was third on the second row Of the first Baptist Church I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri In charge of the bonfire
I was a straight 'A', straight And as they come And parked at the Sonic, isn't ironic When my world came undone
One over was a calf roper Giving me his George Strait And before I knew Miss Was two steppin', runnin'
Back in my cowboy days, what a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all fun, we were two outlaws on the run Tastin' that dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd never him up back in my cowboy days
Well said, "He's crazy", daddy says, "He's lazy" said, "Does he have a brother?" Well changed my dress and who woulda guessed I'd be wearin' them and ropers
It was passionate nights and light Nobody was watchin' the It was in the makin' Eggs and bacon at the seventy-six truck
Back in my cowboy days, what a honky tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in tight Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all fun, we were two outlaws on the run Tastin' rodeo dust, two unliklies in love I swore I'd never give him up back in my cowboy
Sometimes I lay here thinkin' him And laugh about my past Then I roll over and kiss the roper And who'da it'd ever last
Back in my days, Lord what a honky-tonkin' haze He was forbidden fruit in them Wranglers and boots Oh, it was all fun, we were two outlaws on the run Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in Oh, I swore I'd never give him up in my cowboy days
