Way Back When |
LyricsThere's a cowgirl in Cody, WyomingI think about her now and then I only knew her for a little while Way back when. Back when I was riding a wild horse Always on the run Running from anything that felt like love For fear my riding days were done. Way back when when times were different She was a light on a dark and lonely night Back when love was free and I was single If times were different back then could of been so right Way back when, way back when. I told her I would write her Lord knows that I tried But every time I read those letters back They never said what I felt inside One day I just stopped trying To find the words to let her know Then she became just another dream Another dream that I let go. Way back when when times were different She was a light on a dark and lonely night Back when love was free and I was single If times were different back then could of been so right Way back when, way back when. Way back when so long ago where heaven only knows How I survived ..... all those rodeos. There's a cowgirl in Cody, Wyoming I think about her now and then I only knew her for a little while Way back when. Way back when When times were different She was a light on a dark and lonely night Back when love was free and I was single If times were different back then Could of been so right Way back when, way back when. |
