Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbons |
I was born and raised in the Red Clay Hills of Texas |
In the land where the grass gets only beer can tall |
That’s where I learned to cuss and fight and chew Brown Mule Tobacco |
Fix windmills 'fore I was five years old |
I rode every head of stock from the Gulf to Kansas City |
And running wild is all I’ve ever known |
But this cowboy’s got a weakness for tight Levis and yellow ribbons |
And there’s something 'bout 'em I can’t leave alone |
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons make a cowboy swim a river |
That before he jumps he knows is way too wide |
And they’ll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he’s never seen |
And one he knows he’ll never break to ride |
I met her at a rodeo in Douglas Arizona |
I’d drawn the rankest horse a man could draw |
Well, I rode him tall and spurred him high and when I made the whistle |
The crowd went wild but she was all I saw |
That night we had a beer or two with friends of mine from Dallas |
She smiled and said she loved the Texas drawl |
And I felt like Roy Rogers did in all those cowboy movies |
'Cause I became the hero, got the money girl and all |
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons make a cowboy swim a river |
That before he jumps he knows is way too wide |
And they’ll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he’s never seen |
And one he knows he’ll never break to ride |
Yeah, they’ll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he’s never seen |
And one he knows he’ll never break to ride |
