You look out the window While I look at you Sayin' I don't know Would be like saying that the sky ain't blue And boots weren't made for sitting by the door Since you don't wanna stay anymore You can have your space, cowboy I ain't gonna fence you in Go on ride away, in your Silverado Guess I'll see you 'round again I know my place, and it ain't with you Sunsets fade, and love does too Yeah, we had our day in the sun When a horse wants to run, there ain't no sense in closing the gate You can have your space, cowboy After the gold rush, there ain't no reason to stay Shoulda learned from the movies that good guys don't run away But roads weren't made to not go down And there ain't room for both of us in this town So you can have your space, cowboy I ain't gonna fence you in Go on ride away, in your Silverado I'll see you around again 'Cause I know my place, and it ain't with you Sunsets fade, and love does too We had our day in the sun When a horse wants to run, ain't no sense in closing the gate So you can have your space You can have your space, cowboy I ain't gonna fence you in Go on ride away, in your Silverado I'll see you around again 'Cause I know my place, and it ain't with you Sunsets fade, and love does too Oh, we had our day in the sun When a horse wants to run, ain't no sense in closing the gate You can have your space Yeah, you can have your space You can have your space Cowboy
