He'll never wear a business suit
|
Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine
|
See that buckle shine
|
|
He won it in a rodeo
|
On a horse named Desperado
|
And he won the ride but he broke his back
|
Hit so hard he heard it crack
|
No more rodeo
|
|
But you can't keep a good man down
|
A line of western wear uptown heard of his fame
|
And they bought his name
|
|
Now he looks down from a suite
|
At the silver limo parked out on the street
|
And he's not just a face in a martini crowd
|
He drinks long neck Bud and gets a little loud
|
The mans back on his feet
|
|
He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
|
In a business world so fast
|
On a horse of a different color
|
But hell hang on til the last
|
He's still the local hero
|
He's the hometown pride and joy
|
He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
|
|
A woman loved him through it all Mbr> Through his rowdy days and his hardest fall when he almost died
|
She stayed by his side
|
|
She's still right there today
|
He wouldn't have it any other way
|
And he never did get too proud
|
To hang out with the same old crowd
|
Were proud to say
|
|
He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
|
In a business world so fast
|
Oh but its a different saddle
|
Than he once rode in the past
|
He's still the local hero
|
He's the hometown pride and joy
|
He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
|
He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
|
