Verse 2:
-------
When I was a young girl
Well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
Verse 3:
-------
But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
The years just flowed by
Like a broken down dam
Chorus
Verse 4:
-------
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing
Since I woke up today
Verse 5:
-------
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Then come home in the evening
And have nothing to say?
