Lyrics
The good old boys riding brim to brim
From the ranch to the rodeo
Old Tommy done drawing a wild one
A little bronc they call Smokey Joe
Smokey Joe ain't never been rode
And old Tommy ain't never been thrown
As he settled in to the bucking shoots
He said, "Boys, here comes the show"
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
You better wear your working clothes
And pull your hat down tight
It's about to get western
I don't mean it might
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
Well, Tommy's spending all his prize money
Later on buying drinks at the dance
He's got his eye on the rodeo queen
And he figures he'll take a chance
Some big bulldogger by the name of Earl
Said, "Tommy, that's my girl"
As he dug his knuckle, old Tommy starts to chuckle
Said "Well, alright, let her whirl"
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
You better wear your working clothes
And pull your hat down tight
It's about to get western
I don't mean it might
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
The rodeo queen gets the fight broke up
She drags big Earl to the pickup truck
A cowgirl takes old Tommy by the hand
Pulls him on the dance floor, hollers at the band
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
You better wear your working clothes
And pull your hat down tight
It's about to get western
I don't mean it might
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
It's about to get western
Cowboy's delight
It's about to get western
'Round here tonight
