At twenty three I spent my days sleeping in

And my nights working in a bar

I chose my friends by occupation

I wore red lipstick and a scowl

I relished making sad men cry

Drank beer even though it makes me sick

I was not aware I hate staying up too late

Or that I was punching below my weight

Before I learned I was pretending

I couldn't see the full picture just the outlines

Of cowboys in the dark

Now my old friends they kept on changing

While I was looking somewhere else

These days we talk about maybe getting married

Spend much less time in the wild west

I may still spend my mornings sleeping in

Most of my new friends don't have nine-to-fives

I've learned I prefer fresh air to smoky bars

Got my lasso wrapped tightly 'round my matters of the heart

Before I learned I was pretending

I couldn't see the full picture just the outlines

Of cowboys in the dark

Before I learned I was pretending

I couldn't see the full picture just the outlines

Of cowboys in the dark

The outlines will keep on getting filled in

Oh and I'll keep on changing

Oh the outlines will keep on getting filled in

Oh and it's fine that I keep on changing

Before I learned I was pretending

I couldn't see the full picture just the outlines

Of cowboys in the dark

Before I learned I was pretending

I couldn't see the full picture just the outlines

Of cowboys in the dark
