Cowboy

There was a dive bar and a cowboy Well, not a cowboy really, but he wore the hat And there was someone who looked like me At least a little, but not exact He said, "I'm gonna take you out proper You and me are going to the zoo." And I pretended that I was bored And I could take my eyes off of you All I had to do was ask I never knew that this would last I never knew what I was in for This town thinks it's got your number It's unlisted, but they can wonder and guess and speculate on you and me Little did I know, Little did I see Little did I know just how far our little car could go Little did I know Said he was damaged over whiskey A kind of Kerouac over cigarettes "Let me guess, you're a gambler, too?" He said, "I bet I marry you." Well, I was talking like a bad-ass, too A kind of animal all my own "No one's ever gonna tie me down, Especially not some Romeo." All I had to do was look You were such an open book How could I miss what I was in for? Go on ahead and be a loner Pur on your distant look and roam around the west Like Jack and Neal and Dean Little did I know And I drove a thousand miles for you I even bent the rules, it's true I swear to everything above I never knew you at all, my love
