Lyrics
My Kind of Man ? copyright2004CourtneyLeighHeins
My kind of man is rugged and tough
He likes to get dirty and he loves to play rough
My camouflage cowboy all dressed to the nines
Knows when I get lonely, comes around just in time
Everyone knows that he?s my kind of man
And he?ll walk the line
For my kind of man, I?ll wait as long as it takes
?Cuz he?s high speed, low drag and he?ll weed out the snakes
He?s the first to the rescue and the last to slow up
Rides a horse like a Harley, steers a boat like a truck
Everyone knows that he?s my kind of man
Never down on his luck
Fort Knox turns out those golden boys
Bliss is paradise
Meade is my hometown buffet
But Stewart sure feels nice
Hood?s got all the answers
You can always lean on Lee
Though I love to Fort Bragg
Benning?s where I?ll be
Well my kind of man knows how to turn up the heat
He can walk fifty miles without missin? a beat
He?s a legend in the making and a hero out of sight
I keep his picture by my bed so I can sleep through the night
Everyone knows that he?s my kind of man
And he?s doin? alright
My kind of man is bound to lead the brigade
From under 20 below to 110 in the shade
Well my ranger is no stranger to the finer things in life
He?s got two kids and a dog and a beautiful wife
Everyone knows that he?s my kind of man
And he?s up for the fight
Fort Knox turns out those golden boys
Bliss is paradise
Meade is my hometown buffet
But Stewart sure feels nice
Hood?s got all the answers
You can always lean on Lee
Though I love to Fort Bragg
Benning?s where I?ll be
I?d fly out to the desert just to bring him apple pie
I?d use my star-spangled manners on the 4th of July
I?d watch the whole World Series, even bet on the Mets
He?s my kind of man
He?s as good as it gets
Fort Knox turns out those golden boys
Bliss is paradise
Meade is my hometown buffet
But Stewart sure feels nice
Hood?s got all the answers
You can always lean on Lee
Though I love to Fort Bragg
Benning?s where I?ll be
