Cowboys in the Dark

At 23, I spent my days sleeping in And my nights working in a bar I chose my friends by occupation I wore red lipstick and a scowl I relished making sad men cry Drank beer even though it makes me sick I was not aware I hate staying up too late Or that I was punching below my weight Before I learned I was pretending I couldn't see the full picture, just the outlines Of cowboys in the dark Now my old friends kept on changing While I was looking somewhere else These days, we talk about maybe getting married Spend much less time in the wild west I may still spend my morning's sleeping in And most of my new friends don't have nine to fives I've learned I prefer fresh air to smoky bars Got my lasso wrapped tightly round my matters of the heart Before I learned I was pretending I couldn't see the full picture, just the outlines Of cowboys in the dark Before I learned I was pretending I couldn't see the full picture, just the outlines Of cowboys in the dark The outlines will keep on getting filled in Oh, and I'll keep on changing, oh The outlines will keep on getting filled in, oh And it's fine that I keep on changing Before I learned I was pretending I couldn't see the full picture, just the outlines Of cowboys in the dark Before I learned I was pretending I couldn't see the full picture, just the outlines Of cowboys in the dark
