[Verse 1]
He'll never wear a business suit
Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine
See that buckle shine

[Verse 2]
He won it at a rodeo
On a horse named Desperado
And he won the ride but he broke his back
Hit so hard he heard it crack
No more rodeo

[Verse 3]
But you can't keep a good man down
A line of western wear uptown heard of his fame
And they bought his name

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
He's an uptown down-home good old boy
In a business world so fast
On a horse of a different color
But he'll hang on until the last
He's still the local hero
He's the hometown pride and joy
He's an uptown down-home good old boy
[Verse 6]
A woman loved him through it all
Through his rowdy days and his hardest fall when he almost died
She stayed by his side

[Verse 7]
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

[Verse 8]
He's an uptown down-home good old 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 old boy[x2]
