[Verse]
AI was third Alto on the Second row
AOf the First Baptist church choir
AI was keeper of the minutes for the Tri Delts
AIn charge of the homecoming bonfire
I was a Dstraight-A straight laced
DLevel-headed as they come
And Aparked at the Sonic isn't that ironic
When my Ewhole world came unAdone
[Bridge]
GOne slot over was a D/F#calf roper
FGiving me his George Strait Asmile
And beGfore I knew Miss D/F#goody two shoes
Was Etwo-steppin runnin wild
[Chorus]
Back in my Dcowboy days
Lord what a Ahonky tonkin' haze
He was forEbidden fruit
In them Gtight Wranglers and boots
It was all Ddangerous fun
We were two Aoutlaws on the run
Tastin that Erodeo dust
Two unElikeleys in love
I Eswore I'd never give him up
Back in my Dcowboy Adays
[Verse]
Well, AMama said he's crazy
ADaddy says he's lazy
ASister said does he have a brother
AWell I changed my dress
AAnd who woulda guessed
AI'd be wearin them jeans and ropers
It was Dpassionate nights
And Ddashboard light
DNobody was watchin the clock
It was Alove in the makin
AEggs and bacon
At the ESeventy-Six truck Astop
[Chorus]
Back in my Dcowboy days
Lord what a Ahonky tonkin' haze
He was forEbidden fruit
In them Gtight Wranglers and boots
It was all Ddangerous fun
We were two Aoutlaws on the run
Tastin that Erodeo dust
Two unElikeleys in love
I Eswore I'd never give him up
Back in my Dcowboy Adays
[Instrumental Break]
D A D A D E
[Bridge]
SomeGtimes I lay here D/F#thinkin' 'bout him
And Flaugh about my crazy Apast
Then GI roll over and D/F#kiss the calf roper
EWho'da thought it'd ever last
[Chorus]
Back in my Dcowboy days
Lord what a Ahonky tonkin' haze
He was forEbidden fruit
In them Gtight Wranglers and boots
Aw, it was all Ddangerous fun
We were two Aoutlaws on the run
Tastin that Erodeo dust
Two unElikeleys in love
I Eswore I'd never give him up
Back in my Dcowboy Adays...

Chords in this song · guitar

D/F#

[Verse]

I was third Alto 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

Level-headed as they come

And parked at the Sonic isn't that ironic

E A

When my whole world came undone

[Bridge]

G D/F#

One slot over was a calf roper

F A

Giving me his George Strait smile

G D/F#

And before I knew Miss goody 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 unlikeleys in love

I swore I'd never give him up

D A

Back in my cowboy days

[Verse]

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

E A

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 unlikeleys in love

I swore I'd never give him up

D A

Back in my cowboy days

[Instrumental Break]

D A D A D E

[Bridge]

G D/F#

Sometimes I lay here thinkin' 'bout him

F A

And laugh about my crazy past

G D/F#

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

Aw, it was all dangerous fun

We were two outlaws on the run

Tastin that rodeo dust

Two unlikeleys in love

I swore I'd never give him up

D A

Back in my cowboy days...

[Outro]
