Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbons Lyrics & Chords By Chris Ledoux

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 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
