Lyrics:

He'll never wear a business suit,
cowboy hat and bullhide boots just suit him fine...
See that buckle shine?

He won it in a rodeo, on a horse named desperado...
Well he won the ride, but 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...
Now he's not just a face in a 'martini crowd'
He drinks longneck bud and gets a little loud... the man's back on his feet.

He's an uptown, downhome, 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...
yeah, he's an uptown, downhome, good ol' boy.

His 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 ol' crowd,
we're proud to say.

He's an uptown, downhome, good ol' boy
in a business world so fast...
On a horse of a different saddle than he once rode in the past,
he's still the local hero, he's the hometown pride and joy,
yeah, he's an uptown, downhome, good ol' boy.

Yeah, he's an uptown, downhome, good ol' boy.
