Ain’t Always the Cowboy

Verse 1

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

Chorus

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 running, searchin' for something

Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet

It ain't always the cowboy that rides away

Verse 2

I've never seen over from this side

Never heard lonely get this quiet

Still, I can't keep from smiling

'Cause, damn, that girl can fly

Chorus

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 running,

searchin' for something

Leavin' love in the dust

of a midnight Chevrolet

It ain't always the

cowboy that rides away

Bridge

A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind

Goin' too far, wherever that is

Chorus

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 running,

searchin' for something

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
