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

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]
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 our 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
