(intro)
dum-de-de-dum, de-de-dum-de-de-dum,
de-daa-daaaaa
dum-de-de-dum, de-de-dum-de-de-dum,
de-daa-daa-daa-daa-daaaa!
well, i walk into the room
passing out hundred dollar bills
and it kills and it thrills like the horns on my silverado grill
and i buy the bar a double round of crown
and everybody's getting down
an' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
(chorus:)
cause i saddle up my horse
and i ride into the city
i make a lot of noise
cause the girls
they are so pretty
riding up and down broadway
on my old stud leroy
and the girls say
save a horse, ride a cowboy.
everybody says
save a horse, ride a cowboy
well i don't give a dang about nothing
i'm singing and bling- blanging
while the girls are drinking
long necks down!
and i wouldn't trade ol' leroy
or my chevrolet for your escalade
or your freak parade
i'm the only john wayne left in this town
and i saddle up my horse
and i ride into the city
i make a lot of noise
cause the girls
they are so pretty
riding up and down broadway
on my old stud leroy
and the girls say
save a horse, ride a cowboy.
everybody says
save a horse, ride a cowboy
(spoken:)
i'm a thourough-bred
that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
as i was gettin' buzzed on suds
out on some back country road.
we where flying high
fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
and i was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
but her evaluation
of my cowboy reputation
had me begging for slavation
all night long
so i took her out giggin frogs
introduced her to my old bird dog
and sang her every wilie nelson song i could think of
and we made love
and i saddled up my horse
and i ride into the city
i make a lot of noise
cause the girls
they are so pretty
riding up and down broadway
on my old stud leroy
and the girls say
save a horse, ride a cowboy.
everybody says
save a horse, ride a cowboy
what? what?
save a horse ride a cowboy
everybody says
save a horse ride a cowboy.
