Tight Levis And Yellow Ribbon Lyrics - 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
