She wanted to be a cowboy,

she was shootin' 'em down

she was tramping around.

He walked iin crooked with the clear blue eyes.

"There's a nice pool at my motel - you want to go for a swim?"

That night he moved in.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is

sometimes called falling love.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is

sometimes called falling in love

At night she'd wait for the sound onf his feet on the doormat

the sound of his hand on the doorknob,

the sound of her heart beating in her chest

He'd go out playin nickle slots, cause he knew he'd lose -

She didn't know, so she couldn't choose.

One night while sleeping alone in her bed,

the phone rang, she woke up, and sat up and said

"What time is it? What time is it?"

"Well it's 5 :30 here, and it's 2:30 there,

and I won't be home tonight," he said.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is

sometimes called falling love.

Now she sits in a booth in a diner

waiting for someone to take her order,

waiting for someone to come and sit down.

She rubs the smudge off her photograph, puts it back into her purse.

The grey sky was romantic 'cause he was holding her hand

he was her man.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is

sometimes called falling love.

The time between meeting and finally leaving is

sometimes called falling in love

sometimes called falling in love.

She wanted to be a cowboy,

she was shootin' 'em down

she was tramping around.
