[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
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 running
Searching for something
Leaving 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 smiling
'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 running
Searching for something
Leaving 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 running
Searching for something
Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away, rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
