Array ( [sid] => 41813 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => He Won't Change [time] => 2004-04-04 23:48:38 [hometext] => Inspired by my uncles, I miss 'em all [bodytext] => He knows men he's glad he met
Some he'd soon forget
He knows men who made their mark
Some might make it yet
But he's proud to say
He rides with men
Unlike all the rest
Something about spurs and sweat
Brings out all the best

(chorus)

You can take the man off the range
He won't change
A rose is a rose but cowboys know
It's more than a name
He makes his way with working stock
He don't want the fame
You can take the man off the range
He won't change

He's got one good horse
And two good hands
What else does he need
One more shot at a wild-eyed steer
He's not hard to please
He might work a custom call
Or draw pay from a brand
The one rule he learned first of all
"Son, make 'em a hand"

Chorus

You can take the man off the range
He won't change
