[Verse 1: Riley Green]
I used to think that he
Was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne
On his caterpillar seat
Steady turning dirt down there all day
His hands were all calloused up
Leather saddle tough, you can knock him down
And he gets back up

[Chorus: Riley Green]
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 kinda outlaw living he did
Old man ain’t from Texas
But I’d say he is as about as cowboy as it gets

[Verse 2: Randy Houser]
He didn’t wear a Stetson hat
Just an old snapback from the (??)
Hell, he’s never been on a bull
There’s been a bunch of times
He’s been thrown of
His horse was a ford, with a dent in the door
He’s a Redman tailgate troubadour

[Chorus: Randy Houser]
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 kinda outlaw living he did
Old man ain’t from Texas
But I’d say he is as about as cowboy as it gets

[Bridge: Riley Green]
No he ain’t Eastwood or Wyatt Earp
Or Quickley, or Billy the Kid

[Chorus: Riley Green & Randy Houser]
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 kinda outlaw living he did (He did)
Old man ain’t from Texas
But I’d say he is as about as cowboy as it gets

[Outro: Riley Green]
As cowboy as it gets (Cowboy)
I used to think he was the toughest SOB
Next to John Wayne
