Now I don't move too fast and my talk is kind of slow.
I'm from the swamp and I like to stomp to cotton eye jewel.
Now I work hard all week, when it comes Saturday night, I go downtown and cruise around in
a four wheel drive, that's right, with mud flaps.
Sometime I like to slow dance and hold my woman tight, cause you can't get nothing done
if you stand apart and sling your arms.
Now

I see a lot of people and they think they're worse at, but you know the times they aren't
changing when soul brothers wear cowboy hats, that's right.
Yeah, but there's still a lot of cowboys who don't mind biting the dust.
They ride Bramble Bulls and Bucking Bronx and they don't mow no fuss.
But now they're everywhere you look, though it may sound strange, they ride Coop DeVille
down to Cutter Bills, overnight they can ride the Range.
I heard that.

I was down in the swamps one night, singing to the moon, when an alligator crawled up
to me and said, hey I like that tune.
He started to twist and shake his tail, thought he was having a fit, and my fingers were starting
to hurt like hell, but he wouldn't let me quit, he said keep on.
Yeah, been a long time since I've wanted to dance, would you please give me some more?
One, two, three, four, [A] you can't alligator till [Ab] you get down on the floor, [E] that's right,
that's right.
Yeah, met a long legged woman and I loved the way she moved, she was hot to trot like
ZZ Top, turn me everywhere but loose.
Texas woman.
