Lyrics
I was made from tough old leather, my family came that way
I don't think I'm ever gonna change
Some folks try to soften me, well I'm just here to say
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
This belt don't buckle that way
I'm as strong as solid iron-grey
If you need someone to hold you up, that's not the part I play
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
I was young when I was broken in, but never did I break
So don't tie me down or try to make me stay
'cause I'll just add another notch, then I'll be on my way
this ol' belt don't buckle that way
This belt don't buckle that way
Don't strap me down or I'll be on my way
By the time you get to Houston I will be in Santa Fe
Wrapped around somebody else's waist, in time to say
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
Did you think that I'd slip down around your knees and start to beg
Well, you take your Mercedes, baby, I'll keep my Chevrolet
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
This belt don't buckle that way
I'm not some rope that you can tie any old way
So don't think you've worn me down just 'cause my edges start to fray
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
Well, some folks tried to soften me, but they found out the hard way
This ol' belt don't buckle that way
