Chris LeDoux

I was born and raised in the red clay hills of Texas
In the land where the grass gets only beer can tall
Thatâs where I learned to cuss and fight and chew Brown Mule Tobacco
Fix windmills Îfore I was five years old
I rode every head of stock from the Gulf to Kansas City
Runninâ wild is all Iâve ever known
But this cowboyâs got a weakness for Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbons
And thereâs somethinâ Îbout Îem I canât leave alone
Chorus
Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbons make a cowboy swim a river
That before he jumps, he knows is way too wide
And theyâll make him throw a saddle on a bronc heâs never seen
And one he knows heâll never break to ride
I met her at a rodeo in Douglas, Arizona
Iâd 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
ÎCuz I became the hero, got the money, girl and all
Chorus
