(Ray Pennington - Don Reno)

You can't change the daylight to dark
And you can't make a heel toe the mark.

I warned you not to give your love to me
I knew that I would only break your heart
I'm the kind you just can't ever change
'Cause you can't make a heel toe the mark.

You can't stop time from rollin' on
You can't keep a man from goin' wrong
You can't change the daylight to dark
And you can't make a heel toe the mark.

A leopard can never change its spots
The big tiger would never change its stripes
A hound dog would never change its bark
And you can't make a heel toe the mark.

You can't stop time from rollin' on
You can't keep a man from goin' wrong
You can't change the daylight to dark
And you can't make a heel toe the mark.

No, you can't make a heel toe the mark...
