Big & Rich Save A Horse [Ride A Cowboy] Lyrics

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
