Talkin' ^Ńbout a pretty painted lady by my side
Now I'll tell that woman how it used to be

And a man was a man....
G / G /
Painted Lady with your painted face
Tell me bout your life in this painted place
Tell me with your lovin' lips and 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
Talkin' bout a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise
Chorus
