Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy Lyrics By Big & Rich

The 2004 release Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy remains one of the most recognizable songs of the American country music duo Big and Rich. Featured on their first studio album Horse of a Different Color, this song has continually been gaining popularity while placed as one of the top 20 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Like many of their other songs, it was written by Big Kenny (of Big & Rich) and John Rich, and this time it is all about the cowboy culture, freedom, and living life large.

The big and rich duo has always stayed true to their country roots. In Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy the heroic characters of cowboys are depicted in an unapologetic exciting manner. The transformative and humorous attitude of the lyrics brings light as to why most people want to ride a cowboy instead of horses. Based around uncultured southern passion, out of control parties, horses, a big sense of pride and daft humor, the song adds a dash of punk which competes with the likes of traditional country songs. As with any other of Big & Rich songs, this one has also gained immense love from the audience due to their ability to exaggerate and embrace life. In my opinion, the traits referenced in the song make an amazing fantasy to any country’s youth, encouraging them to work hard to achieve their life goals.

With its hit lyrics, vigorous energy, and catchy chorus, it served as an anthem for country music lovers looking for a good time. The song further sparked controversy and admiration, securing Big & Rich’s name as genre defying artists who paved the way for new age country music.

Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy Lyrics

Dum-de-de-dum, de-de-dum-de-de-dum, de-daa-daaaaa
Dum-de-de-dum, de-de-dum-de-de-dum, de-daa-daa-daa-daa-daaaa!

Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of Crown
And everybody’s getting 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 old 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 old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says
Save a horse, ride a cowboy

I’m a thoroughbred, that’s what she said
In the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin’ buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road
We were flying high, fine as wine
Having ourselves a big and 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 old bird dog
And 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 old 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
