Lyrics

[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
[PreChorus]
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, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
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 smilin'
'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, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
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, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Outro]
Rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
