Well, I received my father's name and I wear it like a pin He received his father's name like his father before him And I'll just go on wearing this around And show it off in every single town And I'll climb this tree and let my legs hang free Until I find the root of my family line Well, I may be a city rat but cowboy's in my blood Riding 'round on horseback with a la**o just because I-K-U-A P-U-R-D-Y A living, breathing legend in his time And I'll wrap this sandwich up in cellophane Until we ride in to my family's horizon line He went roaming in Wyoming Horseback riding and cattle roping He roped that steer in record time They saw him as an outcast 'til he showed them how to ride So I say, I-K-U-A P-U-R-D-Y A living breathing legend in his time
