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 go 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
