Tight Levis and Yellow Ribbon
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Glenn Sutton and Red Steagall

C                                              G7
I was born and raised in the Red Clay Hills of Texas
       F                         G7            C
In the land where the grass gets only beer can tall
                                             F
That's where I learned to cuss and fight and chew Brown Mule Tobacco
D7                                  G7
Fix windmills fore I was five years old

  F                                 C
I rode every head of stock from the Gulf to Kansas City
                                  G7
And running wild is all I've ever known
F                                  C
This cowboy's got a weakness tight Levis and yellow ribbons
    F                      G7                C
And there's something bout 'em I can't leave alone

      F                G7             C
Tight Levis and yellow ribbons make a cowboy swim the river
       F                  G7               C
That's before he jumps he knows is way too wide
            F                G7          C
And they'll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen
    F                  G7             C
And one he knows he'll never break to ride

                                G7
I met her at a rodeo in Douglas Arizona
    F                 G7                C
I'd drawn the meanest horse a man could draw
                                         F
I rode him tall and spurred him high and when I beat the whistle
         D7                            G7
When the crowd went wild she was all I saw

     F                               C
That night we had a beer or two with friends of mine from Dallas
                                        G7
She smiled and said she loved the Texas drawl
  F                           C
I felt like Roy Rogers did in all those cowboy movies
        F          G7                          C
Cause I became the hero got the money girl and all

Repeat #3

             F                G7          C
Yeah they'll make him throw a saddle on a bronc he's never seen
    F                  G7             C
And one he knows he'll never break to ride
