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