ain't always the cowboy

her hands wrapped up in mine

tears rollin' out of her eyes

no messin' with a made-up mind

sun settin' on goodbye

yeah

it's hard to believe

it wasn't me tryin' to leave this time

it ain't always the cowboy

that ain't got a lot of hang around

ain't got no settle down in their boots

gone's just what they do

that restless

runnin'

searchin' for somethin'

leavin' love in the dust of a midnight chevrolet

it ain't always the cowboy that rides away

i've never seen over from this side

never heard lonely get this quiet

still i can't keep from smilin'

'cause damn that girl can fly

it ain't always the cowboy

that ain't got a lot of hang around

ain't got no settle down in their boots

gone's just what they do

that restless

runnin'

searchin' for somethin'

leavin' love in the dust of a midnight chevrolet

it ain't always the cowboy that rides away

a tumbleweed heart

chasin' that wind

goin' too far

wherever that is

it ain't always the cowboy

that ain't got a lot of hang around

ain't got no settle down in their boots

gone's just what they do

that restless

runnin'

searchin' for somethin'

leavin' love in the dust of a midnight chevrolet

it ain't always the cowboy that rides away

rides away

it ain't always the cowboy
