Tammy Wynette - Goodnight Cowboy Goodnight lyrics

Ole broomstick pony and a rusted toy gun The world was playground in the warm summer sun You were my hero and me just a girl Who tagged along with you in your rodeo world Our mamas would call us inside from our play And I couldn't wait for next day Those were the storybook days When my little girl heart loved your little boy ways As you pulled up your boot straps and rode out of sight I'd say goodnight cowboy goodnight Play turned to pa**ion as the days turned to years The first time you loved me you laughed at my tears Soft satin sheets were the place we would play We'd love through the night and into the day And somehow I thought I could settle you down When I wore a white wedding gown It was just like the storybook days When my little girl heart loved your little boy ways As you pulled up your boot straps and rode out of sight I'd say goodnight cowboy goodnight But you're just a cowboy a loner at heart And your little boy ways tore my dream world apart Stars and bright lights fill your make-believe range And I've learned the hard way that cowboy's don't change You lie there sleepin' I can't love you more But I turn and walk out the door Goodbye storybook days When my little girl heart loved your little boy ways Now I pick up my suitcase and ride out of sight Sayin' goodnight cowboy goodnight Goodnight cowboy goodnight
