Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbons

[Verse 1]
I was born and raised in the Red Clay Hills of Texas
In the land where the grass gets only beer can tall
That's where I learned to cuss and fight
And chew Brown Mule Tobacco
Fix windmills ’fore I was five years old

[Verse 2]
I rode every head of stock from the Gulf to Kansas City
And running wild is all I've ever known
This cowboy's got a weakness tight Levis and yellow ribbons
And there’s something bout 'em I can't leave alone

[Chorus]
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons make a cowboy swim the river
That's 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

[Verse 3]
I met her at a rodeo in Douglas Arizona
I'd drawn the meanest horse a man could draw
I rode him tall and spurred him high and when I beat the whistle
Well the crowd went wild but she was all I saw

[Verse 4]
That night we had a beer or two with friends of mine from Dallas
She smiled and said she loved the Texas drawl
I felt like Roy Rogers did in all those cowboy movies
’Cause I became the hero got the money, girl and all

[Chorus]
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons make a cowboy swim the river
That’s 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

[Outro]
Yes they'll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen
And one he knows he’ll never break to ride
