I was born and raised in the red clay hills of Texas
In the land where the grass gets only beer cans tall
That's where I learned to cuss and fight and chew brown mule tobacco
Fix windmills for I was five years old
I've 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,
tight Levi's and yellow ribbons And there's
something about him I can't leave alone
Tight Levi's and yellow ribbons will 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 a rider rodeo in Douglas,
Arizona I drove 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 a Texas drawl
And I felt like Roy Rogers did in all those
cowboy movies Cause I became a hero,
got the money girl
and all
Tight Levi's and yellow ribbons will 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
