Cowboy Hat

Yes, he wore a cowboy hat Each bone broken in his back All the money and all the gold Couldn't buy my love at eight years old Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me Ask her, she will disagree Her father was a small time man With small time dreams and small time hands But... But I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I dunno Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? Within a year they always sold and bought Easy enough to just look at her Whole world on a silver platter Was that that bad for me? If I was there the scotch is free Won round one, but its not over He don't care cause he don't know her True love is not the same If I could lend a hand in shame But I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I dunno Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? Within a year they always sold and bought If I was big So much easier to see Don't hide from me That which I've already seen You lie to me More than occasionally Don't lie to me You lied to me I'm as high as I'll ever be I don't mind; stay and see They've all gone; why don't we? Holding hands, you and me But I'm as high as I'll ever be But later on lies to see My past is gone, only from me I'm alive But I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I dunno Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? Within a year they always sold and bought Remember when it was me Driving come down just for me And then we'll try as we've been --- Cowboy Hat - Nickelback
