[Verse]
DHe'll never wear a business suit, Cowboy hats and bull hide boots
Just Gsuit him fine, see that Abuckle shine
DHe won it in a rodeo, on  a horse named desperado__A____
and he Emwon the ride but he Abroke his back
hiEmt so hard he Aheard it crack-No more Drodeo
[Verse 2]
DBut you can't keep a good man down, a line of western wear uptown
heard Gof his fame, and they Abought his name.
DNow he looks down from a suite
At the silver limo parked across the streeAt
EmAnd he's not just a face in a Amartini crowd
EmHe drinks long neck-Bud and gets a Alittle loud
and lands Dback on his feet.
[Chorus]
Hes and uptown, dowGn home good ol' bAoy
In a buAsiness world so fast, on a hGorse of a different color
but he'll hang on til tAhe last
Well he's still the Dlocal hero, he's the Ghome town pride and joy
He's an Duptown, Gdown-home Agood ol' bDoy
[Verse 3]
DA Woman loved him through it all
DThrough his rowdy days and his hardest fall
When he Galmost died, she stayed Aby his side
DShe's still right there today
He wouldn't have it any other wAay
EmAnd he never did Aget to proud
EmTo hang out with the Asame old crowd
