i'm an old cowhand

i'm an old cowhand from the rio grande

and my legs ain't bowed

my cheeks ain't tanned

i'm a cowboy who never saw a cow

never roped a steer 'cause i don't know how

and i sure ain't fixin' to start in now

i'm an old cowhand from the rio grande

and i learned to ride 'fore i learned to stand

i'm a riding fool who is up to date

i know every trail in the lone star state

'cause i ride the range in a ford v-8

yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

and i come to town just to hear the band

i know all the songs that the cowboys know

'bout the big corral where the dogies go

'cause i learned them all on the radio
