Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy Lyrics

Dum dita dum dita dum dita dum dita da da
Dum dita dum dita dum dita dum dita da da da da da

Well, I walk into the room, passing out hundred dollar bills
And kills and it thrills, like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double-round of Crown, and everybody's
gettin' down
And this town ain't never gonna be the same

Cause I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise, cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well, I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and bling-blinging
While the girls are drinking long-necks down
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet
For your Escalade, or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town

And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise, cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well I'm a thoroughbred, that's what she said, in the back of my truckbed
As I was getting buzzed on sud's, out on some back country road
We were flying high, fine as wine, having ourselvese a Big & Rich time
And I was going just about as far as she'd let me go
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation, had me begging
for salvation all night long
So I took her out giggin' frogs, introduced her to my ol' bird dog
Sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love

And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says save a horse, ride a cowboy
What, what, save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Rollin' (The Ballad of Big & Rich)

Dum dita dum dita dum dita dum dita da da
Dum dita dum dita dum dita dum dita da da da da da

Well, I walk into the room, passing out hundred dollar bills
And kills and it thrills, like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double-round of Crown, and everybody's 
gettin' down
And this town ain't never gonna be the same

Cause I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise, cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy 
And the girls say 
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well, I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and bling-blinging 
While the girls are drinking long-necks down
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet 
For your Escalade, or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town

And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise, cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy 
And the girls say 
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well I'm a thoroughbred, that's what she said, in the back of my truckbed 
As I was getting buzzed on sud's, out on some back country road 
We were flying high, fine as wine, having ourselvese a Big & Rich time
And I was going just about as far as she'd let me go
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation, had me begging 
for salvation all night long
So I took her out giggin' frogs, introduced her to my ol' bird dog
Sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love

And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise cause the girls they are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway on my ol' stud Leroy 
And the girls say 
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says save a horse, ride a cowboy
What, what, save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says, save a horse, ride a cowboy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The whole gay thing is a little funny to me actually. I never EVER would have even thought of that,but ya I guess "Leroy" could be a human..Maybe it's about converting people from beastiality? HAHAHAHA! jus' kiddin'. Anyway for a girl who's into Alt. Rock I really love this song. It gets the blood pumpin' and the toes tappin.. One of my incredibly few fav. country songs...

It's about Nashville, not NYC - there is a "Broadway" in Nashville as well.
