Hometown Cowboy

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
