Give Back My Heart Lyrics


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”
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 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”
And I said, “Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise”
And 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”
And I said, “Ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise”
And 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 chip kicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise
Now 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
When I think ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
Take your boots and walk out of my life
When I think ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman
I can't be no cowgirl paradise
Said I can't be no cowgirl paradise
Said I can't be no cowgirl paradise

Lyle Lovett is an americana singer-songwriter and actor from Klein, Texas, who has been described as "the thinking man's cowboy". While typically associated with the alt-country genre, his albums typically incorporate folk, swing, blues, jazz and gospel music as well as more traditional country & western styles. The Night's Lullaby Songfacts reports that after twenty-six years with Curb, Lyle Lovett released his eleventh and last album for the record label, Release Me, on February 28, 2012. The record is mainly made up of covers that Lovett has played, but never got round to recording.

The four-time Grammy winner has acted in a number of films and been a guest-star on television. Lovett was married to actress Julia Roberts for a short time in the mid-1990s. In 2002, he was gored by a bull while working on his uncle's farm in Texas, but soon recovered and resumed touring.
