She Couldn't Change Me

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 going 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
And she packed her things to leave
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me

She changed direction, headed-out west
Changed the 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 (ocean-) lookin' out at the waves
Watchin' how they keep on rollin', but always seem the same
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about all those quiet country nights
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
Suddenly seemed all right

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
She changed the tune, it's all Haggard and Jones
Had 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
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

She couldn't change me
