Lyrics

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
