As recorded by Riley Green feat. Randy Houser (2025 release) [Intro] C F C F [Verse 1: Riley Green]
  C
I used to think that he

                             F
Was the toughest SOB next to John Wayne

      C
On his caterpillar seat

                              F
Steady turnin' dirt damn near all day
[Pre-Chorus: Riley Green]
               Am                G
His hands were all calloused up, leather-saddle tough

          F                  C            Dm
You could knock him down and he gets back up
[Chorus: Riley Green]
                  F
And he ain't from Texas

                      C
And he don't rope and ride

                   F
But he's wide-open reckless

                  C
Never runs from a fight

                    Am         G
They don't give out buckles or ribbons

        F            C      Dm
For the kinda outlaw livin' that he did

                      F
My old man ain't from Texas

             G                               C    F   C   F G F
But I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets
[Verse 2: Randy Houser]
          C
He didn't wear a Stetson hat

                              F
Just an old snapback from the co-op

           C
Hell, he's never been on a bull

                                            F
But there's been a bunch of times he's been throwed of
[Pre-Chorus: Randy Houser]
    Am                      G
His horse was a Ford with a dent in the door

       F          C          Dm
He's a Redman tailgate troubadour
[Chorus: Randy Houser]
                  F
No, he ain't from Texas

                      C
And he don't rope and ride

                   F
But he's wide-open reckless

                  C
Never runs from a fight

                    Am         G
They don't give out buckles or ribbons

        F            C      Dm
For the kinda outlaw livin' that he did

                      F
My old man ain't from Texas

             G                             C
But I'd say he is just about as cowboy as it gets
[Instruemental Break] F C F [Bridge: Riley Green]
             Am          G
No, he ain't Eastwood or Wyatt Earp

   F           C    Dm       G
Or Quickley or Billy the Kid
[Chorus: Riley Green & Randy Houser]
                  F
And he ain't from Texas

                      C
And he don't rope and ride

                   F
But he's wide-open reckless

                  C
Never runs from a fight

                    Am         G
They don't give out buckles or ribbons

        F            C      Dm
For the kinda outlaw livin' that he did

                      F
My old man ain't from Texas

               G
But I'd say he is, yeah

                           C    F
Just about as cowboy as it gets
[Post-Chorus: Riley Green & Randy Houser]
              C           F
As cowboy as it gets (Cowboy)
[Outro: Riley Green]
