John Wesley Harding
Spaced Cowgirl (Live)
[Verse 1]
Well you can dance on TV with your diamonds on
Sing in tune for a world that is going for a song
You get the steps all right but the words go wrong
Well, you had a good evening but you don't know where
All you recall is a fall guy with an up for sale stare
Fell down by the bed and not to say your prayers

[Chorus]
Under the watchful eye of the whole wide world
Well, you turned into a spaced cowgirl
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the medicine chest
This wild wild woman is way out west
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the reins and the spurs
None of you cowboys are true to her

[Verse 2]
Well, you can be a good lover, hammer nails into hearts
You can be a big loser when the real horror starts
You can blow hot and cold like Bacall and Bogart
Now you had a good evening but you don't know where
All you recall is a fall guy with an up for sale stare
Fell down by the bed and not to say your prayers (I saw you)
[Chorus]
Under the watchful eye of the whole wide world
Well, you turned into a spaced cowgirl
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the medicine chest
This wild wild woman is way out west
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the reins and the spurs
None of you cowboys are true to her

[Bridge]
Sometimes I listen to you, it's the whiskey talking
Sometimes I watch you move and it's the whiskey walking
Sometimes I sit and think of all the things that might have been
Things that might have been
Think what might have been, yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, now your eyes never open
But when you sleep they don't close
And it rained so hard, you're a delicate rose
Got so cold that your feelings froze
Now I still don't believe that you have second sight
The automatic pilot flies your eyes tonight
Smile at the bird, we'll get you home alright
[Chorus]
Under the watchful eye of the whole wide world
Well, you turned into a spaced cowgirl
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the medicine chest
This wild wild woman is way out west
Spaced cowgirl
Wasn't she the first to say
I can't remember the lines today?
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the medicine chest
This wild wild woman is way out west
Spaced cowgirl
Lock up the reins and the spurs
None of you boys can be true to her
Are true to her

[Outro]
Are true to her
Are true to her
Are true to her
True to her
