I had turned sixteen growin' bored with life caught in between
  The things that I was doin', and what I'd never done before
  Those days were pretty much all the same
  Drinkin' beer and draggin' main, hopin' somethin' soon would change
  Before I went out of my gourd
  
  I thought she had been around, she's about the age that I am now
  Had moved away from town and come home divorced with a child
  She had hired me on to do the things that no one ther would care to
  At a ranch where rich folks paid to act like cowboys for awhile
  
  We would stay up late and show them folks their bought and paid for
  Authentic country western Texas honky tonk good time
  One night when everyone was gone she played her favorite Elton John song
  And looked at me a way I thought she'd surely lost her mind
  
  But I was almost grown and she was often left alone to think about whatever women do
  And it was nearly right but not near enough to bring to light,
  But where you wonder who was usin' who
  
  We would sneak around, all across that little town
  And did our best to hide the secret we hoped everybody knew
  I guess she made me a man, at least the first time when I thought I was one
  Not necessarily within the law, still somethin' sure seemed true
  
  I don't know the reason wasted youth or football season
  Something makes me think about her more now than I think I did back then
  Right before I had left town I had quit coming around
  She called to say goodbye, I could hear her cry and I didn't even care
  
  But I was almost grown and she was often left alone to think about whatever women do
  And it was nearly right but not near enough to bring to light,
  But where you wonder who was usin' who
