Joe Bob McKinzey was a hero of mine He was an outlaw all of his life Mama used to scold me "Don't you hang out with that cowboy" No doubt about it He was rough at the edges But he was smooth on the draw Mama didn't like him He was rough at the edges But he rode the finest stallion I ever saw Sweet satin ladies on a Saturday night You've never seen such a beautiful sight With cowboys like Joe Bob They'd ride off in the sunset Oh, how I'd loved 'em Rough at the edges I could not detect a flaw Old dusty cowboys Rough at the edges Rough at the edges But smooth on the draw Rough at the edges But smooth on the draw, whoo-hoo Ride, Joe Bob Until this day, I bet he's still bustin' broncos Across that prairie in the sky I won't forget him if I live to a hundred, no Joe Bob McKinzey was a hero of mine Rough at the edges But smooth on the draw Rough at the edges But smooth on the draw He rode the finest stallion I ever saw He was rough at the edges But smooth on the draw, yeah
