Lyrics
Words and Music by Don Haddock ©
Stand Back
Long neck bottle sitting in my lap
A Winchester rifle on my gun rack
Stand Back
A Merle Haggard song on my eight track
And a bumper sticker that says "I Love Rodeo"
And if you got a problem with that
I say "Boy you got a problem with that?"
I said if you got a problem with that
Then you better stand back
I got a plastic Jesus on the dash of my truck
A designer plate that says "God and Luck"
A 45 colt stashed under my seat
And a mean old dog whose name is Pete
(chorus) (to bridge)
Yea you better stand back cause I'm just the way I seem
I'm just a cowboy and sometimes I get mean
I don't have a hidden agenda
Cross me and I'll probably send you
To a place you don't want to be
So if you don't want no trouble from me
Stand back
(guitar solo etc;;;)
I got friends and a woman who likes me a lot
And some folks just as soon see me shot
And if you ask me why I'll say "I don't know"
It's probably just the way I wear my clothes
(chorus) ad lib to end
