(Verse 1)
Well, I rolled into town with dust on my boots,
Lookin’ for somethin’ shiny to match my roots.
There she was, that King’s Ranch truck so fine,
I knew right then I’d leave my money behind.
The salesman winked with a twinkle in his eye,
Said, “She’s yours for a price that’ll make you cry!”

(Chorus)
It cost a King’s Ranch ransom, broke me good and clean,
But now I ride like royalty in this Texas dream.
I’ll be payin’ for years, but oh, what a sight,
With that saddle leather seat and those headlights bright!
Yeah, it cost a King’s Ranch ransom, but I don’t care,
I’ll be king of the road with that cowboy flair.

(Verse 2)
Took her out to the ranch, man, she fit right in,
Kickin’ up dirt, where the real work begins.
But every time I fill her tank, I feel the sting,
Coulda bought some cattle or a diamond ring.
But when you’re ridin’ high, you can’t look back,
Even if your wallet’s startin’ to crack.

(Chorus)
It cost a King’s Ranch ransom, broke me good and clean,
But now I ride like royalty in this Texas dream.
I’ll be payin’ for years, but oh, what a sight,
With that saddle leather seat and those headlights bright!
Yeah, it cost a King’s Ranch ransom, but I don’t care,
I’ll be king of the road with that cowboy flair.

(Bridge)
The wife said, “Boy, you’ve lost your mind!”
But when she climbed in, she didn’t seem to mind.
Leather as soft as a longhorn’s hide,
Now she’s smilin’ wide with me by her side.

(Verse 3)
My neighbor’s got an old truck that’s barely alive,
But when he sees mine, man, you should see him strive.
He’s got no payments, but I’ve got the style,
And when I drive by, he’s green for miles.

(Chorus)
It cost a King’s Ranch ransom, broke me good and clean,
But now I ride like royalty in this Texas dream.
I’ll be payin’ for years, but oh, what a sight,
With that saddle leather seat and those headlights bright!
Yeah, it cost a King’s Ranch ransom, but I don’t care,
I’ll be king of the road with that cowboy flair.

(Outro)
So if you see me cruisin’ in the big ol’ town,
Just know I’m broke, but I ain’t slowin’ down.
It cost a King’s Ranch ransom, but that’s all right,
‘Cause I’m ridin’ high in my truck tonight.
