|
He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to |
|
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke |
|
He likes to hang out on the street |
|
And he'd rather fight than eat |
|
And his nose and the women keep him broke |
|
He's been in every jail from here to Juarez |
|
And every funky old backstreeet saloon |
|
He's a victim of his fate |
|
Born a hundred years too late |
|
And sometimes I think |
|
A hundred years too soon |
|
He's a outlaw, He's a bum |
|
He's a rounder and then some |
|
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be |
|
He ain't ever gonna be no different |
|
He's a damn good cowboy |
|
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee |
|
He didn't finish school or go to college |
|
When he turned 16 he just had to go |
|
And while everyone who did |
|
Was building homes and having kids |
|
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo |
|
He got busted up in Cheyenne last September |
|
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk |
|
And he came on back to town, |
|
He just kinda hangs around |
|
He's the local hero and the local drunk |
|
He's a outlaw, He's a bum |
|
He's a rounder and then some |
|
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be |
|
He ain't ever gonna be no different |
|
He's a damn good cowboy |
|
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee |
|
You may think he's a little crazy |
|
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere |
|
And in your righteous sight, |
|
You just might be right |
|
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there |
|
He's a outlaw, He's a bum |
|
He's a rounder and then some |
|
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be |
|
And if you don't like him you won't like me either |
|
He's a damn good cowboy |
|
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee |
