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