Give Back My Heart

Well, I'm a traveling man, don't tie me down
There's just too much living going all around
A man has got to see what he can see
Well, 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?"
Well 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 ponytail 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 chipkicker-redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life
And I said, ooh, give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise

When I looked at her and she looked at me
I looked back and she looked back
We went out together for a walk
Her little 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 chipkicker-redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life
And I said, ooh, give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise

I told her redneckness 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 chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise

Now 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 chipkicker-redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life
When I think, ooh, give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise
Say I can't be no cowgirl paradise
Say I can't be no cowgirl paradise
