  • Dumb-de-de-dumb, de-de-dumb-de-de-dumb, de-daa-daaaaa
    Dumb-de-de-dumb, de-de-dumb-de-de-dumb, de-daa-daa-daa-daa-daaaa!

    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 double round the crown
    And everybody's getting 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

    I'm a thourough-bred
    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 old 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
