Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a travelin' man, don't tie me down
Is this too much livin' goin' all around
A man, he's gotta see what he can see
Well, I love the road and I love the air
And I don't worry, hell, I never care
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
It spelled, it said, "Stranger why don't you just go on home"
[Verse 2]
Well, 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 plan to go alone
But the road is long and home is far
So I stopped at this little cowboy lookin' bar
Walked on through the door, she just smiled
Well then a long ponytail 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"
[Verse 3]
And I said, "Ooh give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life"
And I said, "Ooh give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice"
[Verse 4]
And I looked at her and she looked at me
And I looked back and she looked back
We went out together for a walk
Well, her eyes were bright just like the stars
But she drove a pick up, said she hated cars
But loved to ride around out after dark
[Verse 5]
And I said, "Ooh give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life"
And I said, "Ooh give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice"
[Verse 6]
I told redneckness has got to be a disease
Kept it on your fingers and it just crawls right up your sleeves
Ooh, give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice
[Verse 7]
Now how she did it I don't know
No, but it's been maybe twenty years or so
And she cooks herself and I try to pay the rent
But I'm a travelin' man, don't tie me down
There's just too much livin' goin' all around
I can't figure out quite where it went
[Verse 8]
When I think
Ooh, give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life
When I think
Ooh, give back my heart
You kicker redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice
Said, "I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice"
Said, "I can't be no cowgirl pair of dice"
