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
