Cowboy Hat Lyrics - The State - Nickelback

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 

Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me 

Ask her, she will disagree 

Her father was a small time man 

With small time dreams and small time hands 

But... 

But I was there when there was nobody home 

Please believe me when I say I dunno 

Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? 

Within a year they always sold and bought 

Easy enough to just look at her 

Whole world on a silver platter 

Was that that bad for me? 

If I was there the scotch is free 

Won round one, but its not over 

He don't care cause he don't know her 

True love is 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 dunno 

Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? 

Within a year they always sold and bought 

If I was big 

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? 

Holding hands, you and me 

But I'm as high as I'll ever be 

But later on lies to see 

My past is gone, only from me 

I'm alive 

But I was there when there was nobody home 

Please believe me when I say I dunno 

Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? 

Within a year they always sold and bought 

Remember when it was me 

Driving come down just for me 

And then we'll try as we've been
