Nickelback — Cowboy Hat

[Verse 1] 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 town man With small time dreams and small town hands But... [Chorus] 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.. [Verse 2] Easy enough to just look at her Whole world on a silver platter What's that? Is that bad for me? If I would set her 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 [Chorus] 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... [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] 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 My past is gone, only from me I'm alive [Chorus] 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... [Outro] Remember when it was me Driving has come down just for me And then we'll try as we've been
