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
