Lyrics
He’s a beach bum cowboy ‘bout half hippie He’s haulin’ them Brahmas out of Southern Mississippi On a long nose Pete made of lights and chrome Big ole Cummins keeps him rollin’ along He’s got thirteen gears – he uses them all He’s haulin’ them fats outta Omaha Tomorrow evenin’ when the sun goes down It’s 28th Street in ole Cowtown He’ll be at Billy Bob’s for the evenin’ show Then he fires that mother up and gets it back on the road (Chorus) He’s the Pocket Rocket Ranger from the Lone Star State He’s haulin’ them dogies from place to place Him and a Jake rattle windows wherever they go Just to wake the ladies up and to let ‘em know To get it in gear and get everything right ‘cause the Pocket Rocket Ranger’s rollin’ in tonight He’s got Jimmy Buffet playin’ on the radio A jug of coffee and a roll of Skoal He drives to Blythe, California like a-pattin’ for a dance Hangs out in Nogales just to give him a chance To catch up on his log and maybe get rest Or put a border town lady to the cowboy test One tequila sunrise and a bloody to go When he fires ole Pete up for that I-10 show (Repeat Chorus) He’s the Pocket Rocket Ranger from the Lone Star State He’s haulin’ them dogies from place to place Him and a Jake rattle windows wherever they go Just to wake the ladies up and to let ‘em know To get it in gear and get everything right ‘cause the Pocket Rocket Ranger’s rollin’ in tonight
