[Intro]
D G D G D G D G
[Verse 1]
DSometimes I think what tGurned her on
Was Dmy old broke down bGootsD  
She wanted her a rGeal cowboy
It was a pDhase she was goin' thGrough
NDot one week after sGhe moved in
I caught her pDaintin' the bedroom bGlueD  
Brought home a bottle of pGink chablis
Poured oDut my best home bGrew
I was sAittin' on the porch in mBmy overalls
When she Gpacked her things to leave
She changed her mAind when she couldn't change DmeG  
[Chorus]
She changed diDrection, headed out wGest
Changed her tDune to some hip-hop mGess
Her dark brown hDair went to blAonde
And her Bm7pretty blue eyes went to gGreen
She changed everythAing when she couldn't change Dme
[Instrumental]
G D G
[Verse 2]
She was sDittin' beside the oGceanD  
Lookin' out at the wGaves
WDatchin' how they keep on rGollin'
They Dalways seem the sGameD  
She called and said she'd been tGhinkin' about
All those qDuiet country niGghts
And whatDever she thought was so wGrong with me
SDuddenly seemed alrGight
I was sAittin' on the porch in mBmy overalls
When her trGuck pulled into view
She said, "I changed my mAind when I couldn't change yDou"G  
[Chorus]
She changed diDrection, headed back hGome
She changed her tDune, it's all Haggard and JGones
Had her dark brown hDair pulled bAack
And the Bm7bluest eyes you've ever sGeen
She changed everythAing when she couldn't change DmeG  
She said, "I guess when you lDove someoAne

Sometimes I think what turned her on

D G D

Was my old broke down boots

She wanted her a real cowboy

D G

It was a phase she was goin' through

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

When 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

[Verse 2]

D G D

She was sittin' beside the ocean

Lookin' out at the waves

D G

Watchin' how they keep on rollin'

D G D

They always seem the same

She called and said she'd been thinkin' about

D G

All those quiet country nights

D G

And whatever she thought was so wrong with me

D G

Suddenly seemed alright

I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls

When her truck pulled into view

A D G

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

Had her dark brown hair pulled back
