Chris Ledoux - Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbons lyrics

I was born and raised in the Red Clay Hills of Texas In the land where the gra** 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 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 Yeah, they'll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen And one he knows he'll never break to ride
