Cowboy Hat Lyrics

Yes, he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small-town dreams and small-town hands but

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that the path for me?
If I would set his conscience free
Won round one but it's not over
He don't care 'cause he didn't know her
Too long, it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame, but

I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me, you lied to me

I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, stay and see
They've all gone, why don't we?
Lonely as you and me
But I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
The past is gone, only for me
I'm alive

Oh, but I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

Oh yeah, remember when it was me
Oh yeah, driving has come down just for me
Oh, yeah, and then we'll try as we've been, oh yeah
