the funny-face kid from down the street Always very close at hand He was just a cowboy, i was lady gran But i don't think i would have shot him down If i knew then what i know now High school days and puppy love Learning what it's all about He was kinda akward, i was filling out But i don't think that i would have played around If i knew then what i know now Too many years, too many chairs Too many other things, too many men Time and again i had to test my wings No time for love, strings or wedding rings A pretty young girl from baltimore Got herself a real good man Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran And i know that i would have made that now If i knew then what i know now Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran And i know that i would have made that vow If i knew then what i know now
