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
