Give Back My Heart — текст песни (Lyle Lovett)

Im a traveling man dont tie me down

Theres just too much living going all around

A man hes got to see what he can see

I love the road and I love the air

And I dont worry hell I never care

I love my women sometimes they love me

But I was got one day I still dont know how

I didnt even like that town

This fellow said stranger why dont you just go on home

And I said man thats where Im headed to

And you couldnt 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 whats your name

My names lyle

And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

Take your boots and walk out of my life

Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

I cant 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 chipkicker-redneck woman

Take your boots and walk out of my life

Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

I cant 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 cant be no cowgirl paradise

Well how she did it Ill never know

But its been maybe 20 years or so

And she cooks the supper and I try to pay the rent

But Im a traveling man dont tie me down

Theres just too much living go all around

But I cant 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

Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

I cant be no cowgirl paradise
