Honky Tonk Bulldoggin' Man Lyrics

Well I didn't make it as a football star

I was O line vicious like a jaguar

And I was gonna make it if it wasn't for this knee

So I got a job off the interstate

Riding some horses for old man Tate

Until one of his steers broke out of his wooden yard

I tried to be like Branquinho

But I missed the horns and down I'd go

Fell like a sack of shit from ten stories up

And there I was

I got the rush

A Honkytonk Bulldoggin' man is what I'd be

In ten years time

I'll be just fine

I'd ride all the places that I never thought that I'd see

I'll be as wild I can

Because I am a Honkytonk bulldogging man

Few years later I was down in Huntsville

Running steers 'til I get my fill

Then finally I drew a steer that wasn't dirt

Got out clean and got out quick

Got off low and twist his shit

Finally got my first check out of the mud

And what's a cowboy do with it

Not pay the bills or let it sit

My Donation went straight back to the bar

And there I was

I got the rush

A Honkytonk Bulldoggin' man is what I'd be

In ten years time

I'll be just fine

I'd ride all the places that I never thought that I'd see

I'll be as wild I can

Because I am a Honkytonk bulldogging man

Now my knees have finally had enough

Didn't win heaps but I was tough

For all the fellas I didn't make it cheap

Sold my trailer and retired my horse

Bought old Tate's farm and moved back of course

Hung my buckles near the Christmas tree

My boys are older and gonna leave the farm

Until one of them went and twisted my arm

To teach them how to do it before they go

And there they was

They got the rush

A Honkytonk bulldoggin' man is what they'd be

In ten years time

They'll be just fine

And they'd ride all the places that they never thought that they'd see

They'll be as wild they can

Because now they're Honkytonk bulldogging men

Because now they're Honkytonk bulldogging men
