[Verse]
I was Dborn and raised in the red clay hills of ATexas
In the land where the grass gets only beer can Dtall
Thats where I learned to cuss and fight and Gchew Brown Mule Tobacco
EmFix windmills fore I was five years Aold
GI rode every head of stock from the DGulf to Kansas City
Runnin wild is all Ive ever Aknown
But this Gcowboys got a weakness for Tight LeDvis and Yellow Ribbons
And theres sGomethin bout em I Acant leave alDone
[Chorus]
Tight LeGvis and Yellow RiAbbons make a Dcowboy swim a river
That beGfore he jumps, he Aknows is way too Dwide
And theyll Gmake him throw a sAaddle on a Dbronc hes never seen
And Gone he knows hell Anever break to Dride
[Verse]
I Dmet her at a rodeo in Douglas, AriAzona
Id drawn the rankest horse a man could Ddraw
Well, I rode him tall and spurred him high
And Gwhen I made the whistle
The Acrowd went wild but she was all I saw
That Gnight we had a beer or two with Dfriends of mine from Dallas
She smiled and said she loved the Texas dDrawl
And I Gfelt like Roy Rogers did in Dall those cowboy movies
?Cuz GI became the Ahero, got the Gmoney, Agirl and Dall
[Chorus]
Tight LeGvis and Yellow RiAbbons make a Dcowboy swim a river
That beGfore he jumps, he Aknows is way too Dwide
And theyll Gmake him throw a sAaddle on a Dbronc hes never seen
And Gone he knows hell Anever break to Dride
