Give Back My Heart

I'm a traveling man don't tie me down There's just too much living going all around A man he's got to see what he can see I love the road and I love the air And I don't worry hell I never care I love my women sometimes they love me But I was got one day I still don't know how I didn't even like that town This fellow said stranger why don't you just go on home And I said man that's where I'm headed to And you couldn't stop me if you knew what to do And I left and I planned to go alone But the road was long and home was far So I stopped off at this little cowboy-looking bar I walked on through the door and she just smiled In a long pony tail and a pretty white dress She said hi bull riders do it best I said oh my God what's your name My name's Lyle And I said ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman Take your boots and walk out of my life Ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman I can't be no cowgirl paradise I looked at her and she looked at me And I looked back and she looked back And we went out together for a walk Her eyes were bright just like the stars But she drove a pickup said she hated cars But loved to ride around out after dark And I said ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman Take your boots and walk out of my life Ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman I can't be no cowgirl paradise I told her redneck-ness has got to be a disease You catch it on your fingers and it just crawls right up your sleeves Ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman I can't be no cowgirl paradise Well how she did it I'll never know But it's been maybe 20 years or so And she cooks the supper and I try to pay the rent But I'm a traveling man don't tie me down There's just too much living go all around But I can't figure out quite where it went Then I think ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman Take your boots and walk out of my life Ooh give back my heart chip kicker-redneck woman I can't be no cowgirl paradise --- Give Back My Heart - Lyle Lovett
