       E                              A
Well, I walk into the room passing out hundred dollar bills
            E                                   A
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
     E                                       A
And I buy the bar a double round of crown and everybody's getting down
        E                             A
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same


Chorus:
       E                        A
Cause I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
 E                             A
I make a lot of noise cause the girls, they are so pretty
E                                 A
Riding up and down Broadway on my old stud Leroy
                 D-E E                    A
And the girls say     save a horse, ride a cowboy
              D-E  E                    A
Everybody says      save a horse, ride a cowboy


Well I don't give a dang about nothing, I'm singing and bling-blanging
While the girls are drinking Long necks down
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade I'm the only John Wayne left in this town

Chorus

Solo

I'm a thorough-bred, that's what she said in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds out on some back country road
We where flying, high fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for salvation all night long
So I took her out giggin? frogs, introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of and we made love

Chorus

What? What?
Save a Horse Ride A Cowboy
Everybody says
Save a Horse Ride a cowboy
