[Verse 1]
The wind it tends to blow a bit back home in Waco, Texas
And I've been known to try and run it down
And I've got a pair of walking shoes that slip on mighty easy
So woman don't you try to tie me down, tie me down
So woman don't you try to tie me down

[Verse 2]
I've seen the snow fall gentle up in Aspen, Colorado
And I've seen the West Virginia leaves turn brown
And I've seen some rear-view mirrors with some crying women in 'em
So woman don't you try to tie me down, tie me down
So woman don't you try to tie me down

[Verse 3]
Don't look at me with family eyes it makes me feel uneasy
Your rope ain't strong enough to keep me bound
'Cause I can run as fast as Chet Atkins picks a guitar

[Chorus]
Woman don't you try to tie me down
