Lyrics

There's a cowgirl in Cody, Wyoming
I think about her now and then
I only knew her for a little while
Way back when.
Back when I was riding a wild horse
Always on the run
Running from anything that felt like love
For fear my riding days were done.

Way back when when times were different
She was a light on a dark and lonely night
Back when love was free and I was single
If times were different back then could of been so right
Way back when, way back when.

I told her I would write her
Lord knows that I tried
But every time I read those letters back
They never said what I felt inside
One day I just stopped trying
To find the words to let her know
Then she became just another dream
Another dream that I let go.

Way back when when times were different
She was a light on a dark and lonely night
Back when love was free and I was single
If times were different back then could of been so right
Way back when, way back when.

Way back when so long ago where heaven only knows
How I survived ..... all those rodeos.

There's a cowgirl in Cody, Wyoming
I think about her now and then
I only knew her for a little while
Way back when.

Way back when
When times were different
She was a light on a dark and lonely night
Back when love was free and I was single
If times were different back then
Could of been so right
Way back when, way back when.
