lyrics

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

said he was gonna take me 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 could 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 just how far our little car could go
little did i know just how far our little car could go


said he was damaged over whiskey
yeah, a kind of Kerouac over cigarettes
“let me guess, you’re a gambler, too?”
he said, “i bet i marry you.”


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
put on your distant look and roam around the west
like jack and neal and dean
little did i know
uh oh oh
little did i see
little did i know just how far our little car could go
little did i know just how far your little car could go


but 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
