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
