Chris Ledoux Hometown Cowboy Lyrics

Hometown Cowboy Lyrics

He was just a hometown cowboy his belly kind of fat



Acme boots up on his feet and a big U-roll-it hat



He entered in the bull riding he did it on a dare



To please his little sweetheart with the long blond hair







He borrowed himself a bull rope spurs and a riding glove



To prove he was no coward to the girl he loved



His bull was standing in the chute his girl was in the stands



Wating to hear the name of her brave young man







He climed down on the back of that big ol' Bramer bull



One of the veteran cowboys came and gave his rope a pull



Someone said are you ready boy he said I guess I am



The bull jumped out and turned back and flung him to the sand







The hometown girl had watched it all and wasn't to impressed



She started looking around for a real man from the west



She looked around the arena and standin' by the fence



Was a tallean cowboy with a big black hat and tight fittin Levi pants







It was Jim a fine young cowboy he rode Broncs and Bramer bulls



He rodeo them quite consistently so his pockets were always full



Somehow he happened to glance up in the stands



And he saw that pretty blond haired girl as she was watching him







Meanwhile the hometown cowboy was back behind the chute



Dabbing blood off his nose and dumpin' sand from his boots



He got himself together wiped some manure off his shirt



He knew his girl would sloothe him cause he was darn sure hurt







He saw his blood haired girlfriend as he rounded the main grandstand



And his poor heart sank as he saw her leaving with another man



So boys if you don't rodeo leave well enough alone



And don't take your girl to the pitching cause you may not take her home
