G C Em C
Texas In 1880
Em
I can hear the wind whisper my name
G
Tellin’ me it’s time to head out again
D
My horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
C
I’m long overdue for headin’ outta town
Em
Gotta fever that they call the rodeo
G
Just enough winners and make the next show
D
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
C
Go on pin another number to the back of my shirt…
(chorus)
G D C
And I’ll ride that pony fast
G D C
Like a cowboy from the past
G D C
Be young and wild and free
G D C
Like Texas in 1880
G D C
Just like Texas in 1880
Em
Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
G
From New York City down to San Antone
D
There’s boys that are ridin’ for legendary fame
C
And our money’s all gone but they still ride the same
Em
Our hearts are getting’ broken
And our heads are getting’ busted
G
We’ll always believe in the things that we trusted
D
They’ll be those nights when glory comes round
C
And we’ll tip our hats and wave to the crowd…
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
D
Someday when you’re older someone’ll see
Em
That buckle hangin’ there on your belt
C
Askin’ just how it felt…
(repeat chorus)
