I'm a traveling man don't tie me down
There's just too much living going
all around
A man he's got to see what he can see
I love the road and I love the air
And I don't worry hell I never care
I love my women sometimes they
love me
But I was got one day I still don't
know how
I didn't even like that town
This fellow said stranger why don't you
just go on home
And I said man that's where I'm
headed to
And you couldn't 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 what's your name
My name's 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 can't 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 can't 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 can't be no cowgirl paradise
Well how she did it I'll never know
But it's been maybe 20 years or so
And she cooks the supper and I try to
pay the rent
But I'm a traveling man don't tie
me down
There's just too much living going
all around
But I can't 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 can't be no cowgirl paradise
