Break a Cowboy

[Verse 1]
I bet he's getting pretty close to Amarillo
Pushing 80 in dirty boots
Chasing next month’s rent in a buckle
If I know him like I do
Can't say I didn't see it coming
I’ve heard stories 'bout his kind
Can't blame him for hitting at a road running
And leaving me behind

[Chorus]
Some things are made to grow wild
They're better alone and unthrottled
No, you can't tame a bright eyes mustang
Just like I can't change his mind
'Cause a fenceless man won't ever settle
Won’t ever be happy with a saddle
He needs to room to roam under that Texas sky
’Cause you can't break a cowboy
But Lord, I tried

[Verse 2]
Sure I’m not the first one to watch him ride off
And I sure won't be the last
It ain't his fault that he follows where his heart calls
Can't have love and a dream like that
He was a dead end in pearl stud buttons
But I’d do it all again
'Cause I'd rather have what was than have nothing
He ain't meant for reigning in

[Chorus]
Some things are made to grow wild
They're better alone and unthrottled
No, you can't tame a bright eyes mustang
Just like I can't change his mind
'Cause a fenceless man won't ever settle
Won't ever be happy with a saddle
He needs to room to roam under that Texas sky
'Cause you can't break a cowboy
But Lord, I tried
Yes, I did

[Bridge]
I tried holding on but had no luck
Tried to run beside him, I couldn't keep up
He's a hell-bent believer, just climb leaver
And he was almost mine

[Chorus]
Some things are made to grow wild
They're better alone and unthrottled
No, you can't tame a bright eyes mustang
Just like I can't change his mind
'Cause a fenceless man won't ever settle
Won't ever be happy with a saddle
He needs to room to roam under that Texas sky
'Cause you can't break a cowboy
But Lord, I tried
Yes, I did
