I ain't never been with a woman long enough for my boots to get old
We've been together so long now they both need resoled
If I ever settle down you'd be my kind
And it's a good time for me to head on down the line
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong
I'm the kind of man that likes to get his way
Like to start dreaming about tomorrow today
Never said that I love you even though it's so
There's that duffle bag of mine, it's time to go
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong
I'm gonna be leaving at the break of dawn
Wish you could come but I don't need no woman taggin' along
Gonna sneak out that door, couldn't stand to see you cry
I'd stay another year if I saw a teardrop in your eye
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong
I never had a damn thing, but what I had
I had to leave it behind
You're the hardest thing
I ever tried to get off of my mind
Always something greener on the other side of that hill
I was born wrangler and a rounder and I guess I always will
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong
