Sometimes I think what turned her on
Was my old broke down boots
She wanted her a real cowboy
It was a phase she was just goin' through
But not one week after she moved in
I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue
Brought home a bottle of pink chablis
Poured out my best home brew
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
As 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 to blonde
And her pretty blue eyes went to 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 rolling
But always seem the same
She called and said she'd been thinking about
All those quiet country nights
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
Suddenly seemed alright
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
Changed her tune it's all Haggard and Jones
And her dark brown hair pulled back
And the bluest eyes you've ever seen
She changed everything, when she couldn't change me

She said "I guess when you love someone
You just gotta let it be"
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
Yeah, yeah
She changed it all when she couldn't change me
She couldn't change me
