Stockyards

The stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up

It's where I drank my first beer, I caught my first dear

On the corner of North and Main

Down the bricks of exchange, I felt so strange

She reached down and gave me a kiss

And in the shadows of downtown, I hung around

To find me a gold buckle queen

In the stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up

If you're down in the shoots, twirlin' the loops

Cadilliac's is probably your spot

Man, it's cowboy hats and cowboy cats

As far as the eye can see

And I'll be coming back real soon to The Longhorn Saloon

So Alex can pour me a beer

In the stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up

If you're on the chase, I know the place

William Roberts will surly suffice

And if you're not sure, just drink one more

She'll look better, I swear

'Cause I was given birth in South Fort Worth

That's where I'll live and die

In the stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up

Not sure where you are it could be PR's

I've been lost there myself

Took steps from my pillow, hope we shut down Armadillo

I stopped off and bought one round

In the stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up

I drank my first beer, I caught my first dear

On the corner of North and Main

In the stockyards, it's my backyard, that's where I grew up
