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 Save a horse ride a cowboy
