[Verse 1]
A 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
[Verse 2]
High school days and puppy love
Learning what it's all about
He was kinda awkward, I was filling out
But I don't think that I would have played around
If I knew then what I know now
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 vow
If I knew then what I know now
[Verse 4]
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
