Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm[G] a[E][A][D]
traveling man
don't tie me down
There's just [G]too much
living going all around
A [E]man he's got to see what he can see
[A]I l[D]ove the road and I love the air
And [G]I don't worry hell I never care
I [E]love my women sometimes [A]they love me

[Verse 2]
But I was [D]got one day I still don't know how
[G]I didn't even like that town
This [E]fellow said stranger why don't
you just go on [A]home
And I said [D]man that's where
I'm headed to
And you [G]couldn't stop me
if you knew what to do
[E]And I left and I planned to go a[A]lone

[Verse 3]
But the [D]road was long and home was far
So I [G]stopped off at [D]this little
cow[G]boy-looking bar
bar
I [E]walked on through the door
and she [A]just smiled
In a [D]long pony tail and a pretty
white dress
She said hi bull [G]riders do it best
I said [E]oh my God what's
your name
My name's [A]Lyle

[Verse 4]
And I [D]said ooh give back my [G]heart
chip kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]Take your boots and walk out of my [A]life
[D]Ooh give back my hea[G]rt chip
kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]I can't be no [A]cowgirl [D]paradise

[Verse 5]
I [D]looked at her and she looked at me
And [G]I looked back and she looked back
And [E]we went out together for [A]a walk
Her [D]eyes were bright just like the stars
But she [G]drove a pickup said she hated cars
But [E]loved to ride around out after [A]dark

[Verse 6]
And I [D]said ooh give back my [G]heart
chip kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]Take your boots and walk out of my [A]life
[D]Ooh give back my hea[G]rt chip
kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]I can't be no [A]cowgirl [D]paradise

[Interlude 1]
[G][E]
[A][D][G][E][A]
[D]

[Verse 7]
I told her [G]redneck-ness has
has got to be a dis[D]ease
You [E]catch it on your fingers and it just
[A]crawls right up your [D]sleeves
[A]Ooh [D]give back my [G]heart chip
kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]I can't be no [A]cowgirl [D]paradise

[Verse 8]
Well [D]how she did it I'll never know
But it's [G]been maybe 20 years or so
And [E]she cooks the supper
and I try to pay the [A]rent
But I'm a [D]traveling man
don't tie me down
There's just [G]too much living go all around
But [E]I can't figure out
quite where it [A]went

[Verse 9]
Then I [D]think [A]ooh [D]give back my [G]heart
chip kicker-redneck woman
woman
[E]Take your boots and walk out of my [A]life
[D]Ooh[A] giv[D]e back my hea[G]rt chip
kicker-redneck woman
[E]woman[A][D]
[E]I can't be no [A]cowgirl [D]paradise
[E][A][D]
