Uptown Down-Home Good Ol' Boy

Garth Brooks


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

He won it in 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 

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 mans 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 hell 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 Mbr> 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
Were proud to say 

He's an uptown down-home good ol boy
In a business world so fast 
Oh but its a different saddle 
Than he once rode in the past 
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
