Anya Marina - Cowboy lyrics

rate me

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

He said, "I'm gonna take you 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

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,

Little did I see

Little did I know just how far our little car could go

Little did I know

Said he was damaged over whiskey

A kind of Kerouac over cigarettes

"Let me guess, you're a gambler, too?"

He said, "I bet I marry you."

Well, I was talking like a bad-ass, too

A kind of animal all my own

"No one's ever gonna tie me down,

Especially not some Romeo."

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

Pur on your distant look and roam around the west

Like Jack and Neal and Dean

Little did I know...

And 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
