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 tryna 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 Ain't always the cowboy
