Chris Ledoux - Hometown Cowboy lyrics

He was just a hometown cowboy his belly kind of fat Acme boots up on his feet and a big U-roll-it hat He entered in the bull riding he did it on a dare To please his little sweetheart with the long blond hair He borrowed himself a bull rope spurs and a riding glove To prove he was no coward to the girl he loved His bull was standing in the chute his girl was in the stands Wating to hear the name of her brave young man He climed down on the back of that big ol' Bramer bull One of the veteran cowboys came and gave his rope a pull Someone said are you ready boy he said I guess I am The bull jumped out and turned back and flung him to the sand The hometown girl had watched it all and wasn't to impressed She started looking around for a real man from the west She looked around the arena and standin' by the fence Was a tallean cowboy with a big black hat and tight fittin Levi pants It was Jim a fine young cowboy he rode Broncs and Bramer bulls He rodeo them quite consistently so his pockets were always full Somehow he happened to glance up in the stands And he saw that pretty blond haired girl as she was watching him Meanwhile the hometown cowboy was back behind the chute Dabbing blood off his nose and dumpin' sand from his boots He got himself together wiped some manure off his shirt He knew his girl would sloothe him cause he was darn sure hurt He saw his blood haired girlfriend as he rounded the main grandstand And his poor heart sank as he saw her leaving with another man So boys if you don't rodeo leave well enough alone And don't take your girl to the pitching cause you may not take her home
