Sometime I think what turned her on Was my old broke down boots She wanted her a real cowboy It was a phase she was goin' through
But not one week after she moved in I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue She brought home a bottle of pink Chablis And poured out my best brew
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls While she packed her things to leave She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
She changed direction headed out west Changed her tune to some hip-hop mess Her dark brown hair went blonde And her pretty blue eyes went green She changed everything when she couldn't change me
She was sittin' beside the ocean Looking out at the waves Watching how they keep on rollin' But always seem the same
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about All those quiet country nights And whatever she thought was so wrong with me Suddenly seemed all right
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls When her truck pulled into view She said I changed my mind when I couldn't change you
She changed direction headed back home She changed her tune it's all Haggard and Jones She had her dark brown hair pulled back And blue eyes like you've never seen She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
She changed direction she's back in my arms She thought it through had a change of heart She said I guess when you love someone you just gotta let it be Yeah, she changed her mind when she couldn't change me.
