American Songs - She Couldn't Change Me lyrics

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 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 her bluest eyes you've ever seen

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

She said "I guess when you love someone

You just gotta let it be"

She changed her mind, when she couldn't change me

Yeah, yeah

She changed it all when she couldn't change me

She couldn't change me
