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
