Nickelback › Lyrics › Cowboy Hat

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 who'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

Mmm Oh
If 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?
Year 'n year they always sold 'em but

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

Mmm Oh
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?
Year 'n year they always sold 'em 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 lie 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

Mmm 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?
Year 'n year they always sold 'em but

(Uh, yea)
Remember when it was me?
(Uh, yea)
Drivin', you never see me
(Uh, yea)
We'll never try as we've been
(Uh, yea)
