Capo 4
A
I was third alto on the second row of the First Baptist Church choir
A
I was keeper of the minutes of the Tri Delts, In charge of the homecoming bonfire
D
I was a straight "A", straight-laced, level-headed as they come
A E A
And parked at the Sonic, isn't that ironic, when my whole world came undone
G G/F# Em A
One slot over was a calf roper giving me his George Strait smile
G G/F# E
And before I knew Miss Goody-Two-Shoes was two-steppin', runnin' wild
Chorus:
D A
Back in my cowboy days, Lord, what a honky tonkin' haze
E A
He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots
D A
It was all dangerous fun, we were two outlaws on the run
E
Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unlikelies in love
E G A
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
Solo
Bridge:
G G/F# Em A
Sometimes I lay here thinkin' 'bout him and laugh about my crazy past
G G/F# E
Then I roll over and kiss the calf roper, who'da thought it'd ever last
Chorus
