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 straight 'A', straight laced

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

He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots

Oh, 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've 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

Oh, 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

And who'da though it'd ever last Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky-tonkin' haze

He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots

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

Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love

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