Willis Alan Ramsey - Painted Lady lyrics
rate meFollowin' the stars through the honky-tonks and bars<br />
Dream away on a country music pride<br />
Start the evenin' by myself<br />
You can bet by the hour of twelve<br />
Gonna have a pretty painted lady by my side<br />
Talkin' ‘bout a pretty pained lady by my side<br />
<br />
Now, I'll tell that women how it used to be<br />
When the west was wild and the land was free<br />
How a western word would travel for a country mile<br />
Then one day when the drug stores came<br />
It forced my hand to playing the truckin' game<br />
Wishing to be a cowboy all the while<br />
Yes, I was wishing to be a cowboy all the while<br />
<br />
Painted lady, tell me of the past gone by<br />
Hold me like the open range and ride me high<br />
Listenin' to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham<br />
<br />
And the man was a man… <br />
<br />
Painted lady with your painted face, tell me ‘bout your life in this painted place<br />
Tell me with your lovin' lips – and lovin' eyes<br />
I can feel the pain, I can see the fears<br />
On the painted cheeks that hide the tears<br />
Of a lovely, lonesome cowgirl in disguise<br />
Talkin' ‘bout a lovely, lonesome cowgirl in disguise<br />
<br />
Painted lady, tell me of the past gone by<br />
Hold me like the open range and ride me high<br />
Listenin' to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham<br />
And the man was a man…
