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 walkin' 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 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 cryin' 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 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 (Doo, doo, doo, doo, woman don't you tie me down, down, down)
