I was so young
I did not know
What dear Wes meant to me
He held me close
Told me he chose
To have me as his queen

But how I feed
A love so strong
A life so long with him
I never knew
Another soul
To ever let me in

I let him go
He begged me no
A young girl, I felt free
To leave my home
To dance alone
The world in front of me

Out on my own
In my own show
A rodeo for me
Like those short skirts
A dancing flare
All the boys could see

[Instrumental]

I was so young

What dear Wes meant to me
He held me close
Told me he chose
To have me as his queen

But how I feed
A love so strong
A life so long with him
I never knew
Another soul
To ever let me in
