Painted Lady
(listen)

Lyrics
Songs
Home Followin’ the stars through the honky tonks and bars
Dream away on a country music pride
Start the evenin’ by myself; you can bet by the hour of twelve
I’m gonna have a pretty painted lady by my side
Talkin’ bout a pretty painted lady by my side

And I’ll tell that woman how it used to be
when the West was wild and the land was free
How a western word could travel for a country mile
How then one day when the drugstores came
and forced my hand to play the truckin’ game
Wishin’ to be a cowboy all the while
Yes, I was wishin' to be a cowboy all the while

Chorus:
Painted lady, tell me of the past gone by
Hold me like the open range, and ride me high
Kiss me to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham
And a man was a man . . . .

Painted lady with your painted face,
Tell me ’bout your life in this apinted place
Tell me with your lovin’ lips and your lovin’ eyes
I can feel the pain; I can see the fears
on the painted cheeks that hide the tears
Of a lovely, lonesome cowgirl in disguise
I’m talkin’ ’bout a lovely, lonesome cowgirl in disguise

Chorus
