        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 
 
        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
