Tom: A
A
I was third Alto on the Second row
A
Of the First Baptist church choir
A
I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri Delts
A
In charge of the homecoming bonfire
D
I was a straight-A straight laced
D
Level-headed as they come
A
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
E
Was two-steppin runnin wild
[Chorus]
D
Back in my cowboy days
A
Lord what a honky tonkin' haze
E
He was forbidden fruit
G
In them tight Wranglers and boots
D
It was all dangerous fun
A
We were two outlaws on the run
E
Tastin that rodeo dust
E
Two unlikeleys in love
E
I swore I'd never give him up
D A
Back in my cowboy days
[Verse]
A
Well, Mama said he's crazy
A
Daddy says he's lazy
A
Sister said does he have a brother
A
Well I changed my dress
A
And who woulda guessed
A
I'd be wearin them jeans and ropers
D
It was passionate nights
D
And dashboard light
D
Nobody was watchin the clock
A
It was love in the makin
A
Eggs and bacon
E A
At the Seventy-Six truck stop
[Chorus]
D
Back in my cowboy days
A
Lord what a honky tonkin' haze
E
He was forbidden fruit
G
In them tight Wranglers and boots
D
It was all dangerous fun
A
We were two outlaws on the run
E
Tastin that rodeo dust
E
Two unlikeleys in love
E
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
E
Who'da thought it'd ever last
[Chorus]
D
Back in my cowboy days
A
Lord what a honky tonkin' haze
E
He was forbidden fruit
G
In them tight Wranglers and boots
D
Aw, it was all dangerous fun
A
We were two outlaws on the run
E
Tastin that rodeo dust
E
Two unlikeleys in love
E
I swore I'd never give him up
D A
Back in my cowboy days...
