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...
