lyrics

Way up north across the great divide
There lived a man who lived to ride
He's got 40 feet of rope swingin' by his side
Made from rawhide

His Stetson’s seen more dirt than a gopher
Had it since he was a young goat roper
Used to touch his ears now it goes right over
Lucky like a 4 leaf clover

His buckle said his name 'til it got ground down.
On the side of a trailer by an on'ry cow
His pants are held up by suspenders now
When he goes into town
Yeah when he goes into town

Way up north across the 49
There lived a man who lives to ride
He's got 40 feet of rope swingin' by his side
Made from rawhide

Saddles so rode all the toolin's gone
And where it broke he tied it right back on
That saddle alone is worth its own damn song
Still holdin' on

He used to work stock on a big feed lots
Now he just workin' on tying knots
He’s got a couple fingers usedta have lots
'Til that loop got caught
'Til that loop got caught

Way up north across the 49
There lived a man who lived to ride
He's got 40 feet of rope swingin' by his side
Made from rawhide

You could tell his truck from the edge of town
By exhaust belchin' and that awful sound
He’s drivin’ his ex wife’s corolla now
Its cheaper to get around

He spends most nights at the hotel bar
Come rodeo time he’s a regional star
Sellin' cowboy wisdom out the trunk of his car
25 dollars a jar
Only 25 dollars a jar

Way up north across the great divide
There lives a man who lived to ride
He's got 40 feet of rope swingin' by his side
Made from rawhide

Way up north across the 49e
Lives a man who lives to ride
Might be gone by now if not for pride
Now he’s made from rawhide
He was made from rawhide
He was made from rawhide.

Boots & The Hoots image

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 ... more
