lyrics

Just a Buck or two buckaroo
Aint never bought nothing brand new
Thrift store stetson and hand me down boots with soles so gone you could see my roots
Just a buck or two buckaroo

My horse is just as broke as me
He’s got ringbone and an arthritic knee
When I say my ol’ horse is broke
he’s about as lame as my best damn joke

I guess this winter we’ll be sharin’ feed
Room, board and blanket with my steed
Hope that hoss can keep me dry and warm
I traded my best wool jacket for ‘em

Just a Buck or two buckaroo
Aint never bought nothing brand new
Thrift store stetson and hand me down boots with soles so gone you could see my roots
Just a buck or two buckaroo

I got the finest rope i could afford
That aint sayin’ much when you're dirt poor
It’s a little kinked up and the ends comin’ loose
Every time I miss that’s my best excuse

Learned everything I know from Louis L'amour
Spaghetti westerns and the sawdust floor
Will Rogers surely taught me more
Than the best damn school couldn't afford

Just a Buck or two buckaroo
Aint never bought nothing brand new
Thrift store stetson and hand me down boots with soles so gone you could see my roots
Just a buck or two buckaroo

I remember the last time I payed the askin' price
I was six years old it was 1995
You’d think I was tryin' to buy this man's wife
Over 25 cents on a pocket knife

I’ve been lookin' for new spurs, chaps and a saddle
Home on the range to raise my cattle
Only problem is, I haven't got a single cent
I guess I'll keep worryin' 'bout payin' my rent

Just a Buck or two buckaroo
Aint never bought nothing brand new
Thrift store stetson and hand me down boots with soles so gone you could see my roots
Just a buck or two buckaroo
Just a buck or two buckaroo

about

Boots & The Hoots Drumheller, Alberta

"Hardcore, traditional, songs of leavin', drinkin', and losin', but mainly drinkin', all enhanced by a tight rhythm section and plenty of of steel guitar. " - Country Music People Magazine 5 Star Review of "III"

" Wittily crafted, downtempo western melodies, a cactus in the ass of modern, power-ballad country crooners that forgot the music of their grandfathers." -EXCLAIM! Magazine
