Stockyards

The Stockyards, it's my backyard
That's where I grew up
Well, I drank my first beer, I cried my first tear
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 your down in the chutes twirling the loops
The Cadilliac is probably your spot
And 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 surely 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

And the Stockyards, it's my backyard
That's where I grew up

You're not sure where you are
Well, it could be PR's
I've been lost there myself
Two steps from my pillow the shut down Armadillo
I stopped off and bought one round

And the Stockyards, it's my backyard
That's where I grew up
Well, I drank my first beer, I cried my first tear
On the corner of North and Main
And the Stockyards, it's my backyard
That's where I grew up
