Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbon

I was born and raised in the Red Clay Hills of Texas



In the land where the grass gets only beer can tall



That's where I learned to cuss and fight and chew Brown Mule Tobacco



Fix windmills fore I was five years old



I rode every head of stock from the Gulf to Kansas City



And running wild is all I've ever known



But this cowboy's got a weakness for Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbons



And there's something bout 'em I can't leave alone



Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbons make a cowboy swim a river



That before he jumps he knows is way too wide



And they'll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen



And one he knows he'll never break to ride

I met her at a rodeo in Douglas Arizona



I'd drawn the rankest horse a man could draw



Well I rode him tall and spurred him high and when I made the whistle



The crowd went wild but she was all I saw



That night we had a beer or two with friends of mine from Dallas



She smiled and said she loved the Texas drawl



And I felt like Roy Rogers did in all those cowboy movies



Cause I became the hero got the money girl and all



Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbons...



Yeah they'll make him throw a saddle...
