He was just a hometown cowboy, his belly of fat Acme up on his feet and a big U roll it hat He was entered in the riding, he did it on a dare To please his little sweetheart with the long blond
He borrowed himself a bull rope, spurs and a glove To prove he was no coward to the he loved His was standing in the chute, his girl was in the stands Waiting to hear the name of her young man
He climbed on the back of that big ol' Bramer bull And one of the veteran cowboys and gave his rope a pull Someone said, "Are you ready, boy", he said, "I I am" Oh well, the bull jumped out and back and flung him to the sand
Well, the blond girl had watched it all and wasn't too impressed So she started around for a real man from the West She looked around the arena and standin' by the Was a tall cowboy with a big black hat and fittin' Levi pants
Well, it was Jim, a fine young cowboy, he rode Broncs and bulls He rode them quite consistently so his pockets were always he happened to glance up in the stands And he saw that pretty blond haired girl as she was watching him
Meanwhile that hometown cowboy, he was back the chute Dabbing blood off his nose and dumpin' from his boots He got himself together wiped, some off his shirt He knew his would soothe him 'cause he was darn sure hurt
Well, he saw his blond haired as he rounded the main grandstand And his poor sank as he saw her leaving with another man So boys, if you don't rodeo, leave well enough And don't your girl to the pitching 'cause you may not take her home
