He'll never wear a business suit   Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine   See that buckle shine      He won it at a rodeo on a horse named Desperado   And he won the ride by, he broke his back   Hit so hard, he heard it crack   No more rodeo      But you can't keep a good man down   A line of western wear, uptown heard of his fame   And they bought his name      Now he looks down from a suite   At the silver limo parked out on the street   And he's not just a face in a martini crowd   He drinks long neck Bud and gets a little loud   The man's back on his feet      He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy   In a business world so fast   On a horse of a different color   But he'll hang on 'til the last      He's still the local hero   He's the hometown pride and joy   He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy      A woman loved him through it all   Through his rowdy days and his hardest fall   When he almost died she stayed by his side      She's still right there today   He wouldn't have it any other way   And he never did get too proud   To hang out with the same old crowd   We're proud to say      He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy   In a business world so fast   Oh, but it's a different saddle   Than he once rode in the past      Well, he's still the local hero   He's the hometown pride and joy   He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy   He's an uptown down-home good ol' boy
