I used to think that he

Was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne

On his Caterpillar seat

Steady turnin' dirt damn near all day

His hands were all calloused up

That leather saddle tough

You could knock him down, he gets back up

And he ain't from Texas

And he don't rope and ride

But he's wide open reckless

Never runs from a fight

They don't give out buckles or ribbons

For the kind of outlaw livin' that he did

My old man ain't from Texas

But I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets

He didn't wear a Stetson hat

Just an old snapback from a cool off

Hell, he's never been on a bull

There's been a bunch of times he's been throwed off

His horse was a Ford with a dent in the door

He's a red-man tailgate troubadour

Nah, he ain't from Texas

He don't rope and ride

But he's wide open reckless

Never runs from a fight

They don't give out buckles or ribbons

For the kind of outlaw livin' he did

My old man ain't from Texas

But I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets

Nah, he ain't Eastwood or Wyatt Earp

Or Quigley or Billy the Kid

And he ain't from Texas

And he don't rope and ride

But he's wide open reckless

Never runs from a fight

They don't give out buckles or ribbons

For the kind of outlaw livin' he did, he did

My old man ain't from Texas

But I'd say he is, yeah

Just about as cowboy as it gets

As cowboy as it gets (cowboy)

I used to think that he

Was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne
