[Intro]
E E E
[Verse 1]
EHe found that buckle in a pawn shop
Can't two-Astep across this Efloor
EThem boots ain't ever seen the mud
He Bcan't be what you're lookin' for
He's got a Ehalf-assed smile and fake southern drawl
EHe's dressed Aup like the Marlboro Eman
He's never backed in a box or dropped in a chute
And he's Bnever rode for a Ebrand
[Chorus]
E'Cause he ain't a cowboy, he ain't a plowboy
He's just a Acity boy in disEguise
EAnd he's never drove a tractor
Maybe that's the Bkind of man you're after
And he can't Esaddle up no horse
So he ain't Aever gonna ride awayE  
And I'm a Esaddle sore puncher in a buckle I won
ESure to Bbreak your heart one Eday
[Verse 2]
EHe's never pulled no plow from dusk 'til dawn
Or thrown Ahay 'til the sun came Eup
EHe's never hooked no bass on a Texas rig
Hell, the Bman don't drive a truck
And he'll be Eout across town tomorrow night
Skinny jeans 'cause he has no Ashame
He's never Etipped his hat for guts or glory
While Bridin' through the Epain
[Chorus]
'Cause he ain't a Ecowboy, he ain't a plowboy
He's just a Acity boy in disEguise
EAnd he's never drove a tractor
Maybe that's the Bkind of man you're after
And he can't Esaddle up no horse
So he ain't Aever gonna ride awayE  
And I'm a Esaddle sore puncher in a buckle I won
Sure to Bbreak your heart one EdayE  
A  E B E
[Bridge]
EHe's sellin' you a lie, girl
Here's a lesson you will Alearn
Those Eboots don't make a cowboy, baby
It's a Btitle that you EearnE  
So if you Eleave with me tonight, know
That it's hell I'll put you Athrough
                   EN.C.
But we'll be rollin' down south
N.C.
With them speakers cranked up
BListenin' to Chris LeDouxE  
[Chorus]
'Cause he ain't a Ecowboy, he ain't a plowboy
He's just a Acity boy in disEguise
EAnd he's never drove a tractor
Maybe that's the Bkind of man you're after
And he can't Esaddle up no horse
So he ain't Aever gonna ride awayE  
And I'm a Esaddle sore puncher in a buckle I won
Sure to Bbreak your heart one Eday
[Outro]
       EN.C.
  Yeah, I'm a saddle sore puncher in a buckle I won
N.C.                              E  
Sure to break your heart one day

[Intro]

E E E

[Verse 1]

He found that buckle in a pawn shop

Can't two-step across this floor

Them boots ain't ever seen the mud

He can't be what you're lookin' for

He's got a half-assed smile and fake southern drawl

E A E

He's dressed up like the Marlboro man

He's never backed in a box or dropped in a chute

B E

And he's never rode for a brand

[Chorus]

'Cause he ain't a cowboy, he ain't a plowboy

A E

He's just a city boy in disguise

And he's never drove a tractor

Maybe that's the kind of man you're after

And he can't saddle up no horse

A E

So he ain't ever gonna ride away

And I'm a saddle sore puncher in a buckle I won

E B E

Sure to break your heart one day

[Verse 2]

He's never pulled no plow from dusk 'til dawn

A E

Or thrown hay 'til the sun came up

He's never hooked no bass on a Texas rig

Hell, the man don't drive a truck

And he'll be out across town tomorrow night

Skinny jeans 'cause he has no shame

He's never tipped his hat for guts or glory

B E

While ridin' through the pain

[Chorus]

'Cause he ain't a cowboy, he ain't a plowboy

A E

He's just a city boy in disguise

And he's never drove a tractor

Maybe that's the kind of man you're after

And he can't saddle up no horse

So he ain't ever gonna ride away

And I'm a saddle sore puncher in a buckle I won
