Jason Meadows - 100% Cowboy

This is "Real Man" month here at Saturday Redneck, and what's more Real Man that a cowboy? Country music has a great tradition of singing cowboys, so this fits right in.

Jason Meadows was runner-up on season 3 of Nashville Star. I thought this was a shame, since he was my favorite.

It didn't hold him back from cutting an album, 100% Cowboy. The song with that name really captures what I liked about his performances that season: straight up and honest. He actually is a honest to God cowboy. Yes, that's him riding the horse in the video. Sideways. It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I don't claim to be John Wayne
Ridin' across that silver screen
And I ain't that picture in your head
Of all these modern day wannabes
I'm just proud that I can say
I don't wear this hat for show or fame
If you don't like who I am
You got momma and daddy and the good lord to blame Amen

(Chorus)
I'm a straight up, no jokin', buck knife, gun totin'
Give you the shirt off my back
I'm up at the crack of dawn
Work until the sun is gone
I ain't got time for no crap
No I'm not one of then posin' pretty boys
I'm an everyday, all the way, hundred percent cowboy

I've always tucked my shirts in
I crease my own blue jeans
An I don't do it cause its who
Somebody says I oughta be
Yeah, when I'm laying in that old pine box
And all my family's gathered 'round, they'll say
There goes a dying breed
Six feet in the ground

Chorus

Hey, I'm a straight up, no jokin', buck knife, gun totin'
Give you the shirt off my back
I'm up at the crack of dawn
Work until the sun is gone
I ain't got time for no crap
No I'm not one of then posin' pretty boys
I'm an everyday, all the way, hundred percent cowboy

No I'm not one of then posin' pretty boys
I'm an everyday, all the way, hundred percent cowboy

Yeah I'm a cowboy
I said I'm a cowboy
100% I'm a cowboy
Yeah, just like Chris LeDoux, I'm a cowboy
