Her hands wrapped up in mine,
tears rolling out of her eyes,
No messing with a maid of mine,
son said no goodbye,
It's hard to believe it wasn't me trying to leave this time,
It ain't always the cowboy that ain't got a lot of hanging around,
Ain't got no settle down in their boots,
Gone just for what they do,
That restless running,
searching for something,
Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet,
No it ain't always
the cowboy that rides away,
I've never seen over from this side,
Never heard alone get this quiet,
Still I can't keep from smiling,
cause damn that girl can fly,
It ain't always the cowboy that ain't got a lot of hanging around,
Ain't got no settle down in their boots,
Gone just for what they do,
That restless running,
searching for something,
Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet,
No it ain't always the cowboy that rides away,
A tumbleweed heart,
chasing that wind,
Going too far,
wherever that is,
It ain't always the cowboy that ain't got a lot of hanging around,
Ain't got no settle down in their boots,
Gone just for what they do,
That restless running,
searching for something,
Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet,
No it ain't always
the cowboy that rides away,
Rides away,
It ain't always the cowboy,
That rides away,
It ain't always the cowboy,
