Rough & Ready...kinda


urban cowboy

I'm not sure if I fit to well as a pastor in a urban community but so what. I've gotten a few strange looks for sure. What do you do with a cowboy hat wearing, bike riding, birkenstocked, metal-country-alternative-jamming, bible totting pastor?...I'm kinda like an urban cowboy with multiple personalities I guess...

This Trace Adkins song kinda nails it for me. It's a great tune if you have not heard it.
Mudgrips - white-tip
Cigar stickin' out of my face
Earnhardt racing sticker on the window
Banged up fender
4x4 - straight pipe roar
Primer and rust all over the door
Scarred up knuckles, Mack belt buckle
White t-shirt - Ain't afraid to work
Got a "what-you looking at pretty boy" smirk

Cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, Skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready

Work boots - one blue suit
Size too small - don't wear at all
Unless somebody kicks - gets hitched
It don’t fit - makes me itch
Up with sun - off on the run
Makin' money money - cause I wanna have fun
5 o'clock whistle - off like a missle
Got a hot date, girl named Kate
Think's I'm cool - 'cause I shoot straight
Ain't one thing about her fake
She's long and tall - and she goes great with

Cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, Skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready

Country? Really? I thought the hat was to be ironic.

Babe,
I could switch gears from heavy metal, long hair and spandex
to boots, hat and tight wranglers...if that's your flavor of the future, count me in. Just promise me you will never be Emo and I'll be fine. - Love, the wife
