Cowboy Hat Nickelback

[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
