Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbons - 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
That's where I learned to cuss
And fight and chew Brown Mule Tobacco
Fix windmills 'fore I was five years old
I rode every head of stock
From the Gulf to Kansas City
And running wild is all I've ever known
But this cowboy's got a weakness
For tight Levis and yellow ribbons
And there's something 'bout 'em
I can't leave alone
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons
Make a cowboy swim a river
That 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
I met her at a rodeo in Douglas Arizona
I'd 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
'Cause I became the hero
Got the money girl and all
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons
Make a cowboy swim a river
That 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
Yeah  they'll make him
Throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen
And one he knows he'll never break to ride
