He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to   He loves the bottle and a dirty joke   He likes to hang out on the street   And he'd rather fight than eat   And his nose and the women keep him broke       He's been in every jail from here to Juarez   And every funky old backstreeet saloon   He's a victim of his fate   Born a hundred years too late   And sometimes I think   A hundred years too soon      He's a outlaw, He's a bum   He's a rounder and then some   He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be   He ain't ever gonna be no different   He's a da** good cowboy   And I hope to he** he stays in Tennessee      He didn't finish school or go to college   When he turned 16 he just had to go   And while everyone who did   Was building homes and having kids   He was out West ridin' in some rodeo      He got busted up in Cheyenne last September   And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk   And he came on back to town,   He just kinda hangs around   He's the local hero and the local drunk      He's a outlaw, He's a bum   He's a rounder and then some   He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be   He ain't ever gonna be no different   He's a da** good cowboy   And I hope to he** he stays in Tennessee      You may think he's a little crazy   And you may think that where he's at's nowhere   And in your righteous sight,   You just might be right   But he da## sure did have fun gettin there      He's a outlaw, He's a bum   He's a rounder and then some   He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be   And if you don't like him you won't like me either   He's a da** good cowboy   And I hope to he** he stays in Tennessee
