  • Well, I walk into the room
    Passing out hundred dollar bills
    And it kills, and it thrills, like the horns on my Silverado grill
    And I buy the bar a double round of Crown
    And everybody's gettin' down
    And this town, ain't never gonna be the same

    'Cause I saddle up my horse
    And I ride into the city
    I make a lot of noise
    'Cause the girls
    They are so pretty
    Riding up and down Broadway
    On my old stud Leroy
    And the girls say
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy
    Everybody says
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy

    Well, I don't give a dang about nothing
    I'm singing and bling blinging
    While the girls are drinking
    Long necks down
    And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
    Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
    Or your freak parade
    I'm the only John Wayne left in this town

    When I saddle up my horse
    And I ride into the city
    I make a lot of noise
    'Cause the girls
    They are so pretty
    Riding up and down Broadway
    On my old stud Leroy
    And the girls say
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy
    Everybody says
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy

    Well, I'm a thoroughbred
    That's what she said
    In the back of my truck bed
    As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
    Out on some back country road
    We where flying high, fine as wine
    Having ourselves a Big and Rich time
    And I was going just about as far as she'd let me go
    But her evaluation
    Of my cowboy reputation
    Had me begging for salvation
    All night long
    So I took her out giggin' frogs
    Introduced her to my ol' bird dog
    And sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of
    And we made love

    And I saddled up my horse
    And I ride into the city
    I make a lot of noise
    'Cause the girls
    They are so pretty
    Riding up and down Broadway
    On my old stud Leroy
    And the girls say
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy
    Everybody says
    Save a horse, ride a cowboy

    What? What?
    Save a horse ride a cowboy
    Everybody says
    Save a horse ride a cowboy Writer/s: John Rich, Kenny Alphin
