Lyrics and translation
Original
I used to think that he was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne.
On his Caterpillar seat, steady turning dirt damn near all day.
His hands were raw calloused up, leather saddle tough. You could knock him down, but he gets back up.
And he ain't from Texas, and he don't rope and ride.
But he's wide open reckless, never runs from a fight.
They don't give out buckles or ribbons for the kind of outlaw living that he did.
My old man ain't from Texas, but I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets.
He didn't wear a Stetson hat, just an old snapback from the co-op.
Well, he's never been on a bull, but there's been a bunch of times he's been throwed off.
His horse was a Ford with a dent in the door.
He's a red man tailgate through Bedore.
Now, he ain't from Texas, he don't rope and ride.
But he's wide open reckless, never runs from a fight.
They don't give out buckles or ribbons for the kind of outlaw living he did.
My old man ain't from Texas, but I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets.
Nah, he ain't Eastwood or Wyatt Earp or Quigley or Billy the Kid.
And he ain't from Texas, and he don't rope and ride.
But he's wide open reckless, never runs from a -fight.
-They don't give out buckles or ribbons for the kind of outlaw living he did, he did.
My old man ain't from Texas, but I'd say he is, yeah, just about as cowboy as it gets.
-As cowboy as it gets. -Cowboy.
I used to think that he was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne.
