texas in 1880

i can hear the wind whisper my name. tellin' me it's time to head out again. my horses are trailered and the lights are shut down

an' i'm long overdue for headin' outta town. got a fever that they call the rodeo. just enough winnin' to make the next show. sometimes you make eight

sometimes you hit dirt. go on

pin another number to the back of my shirt

and i'll ride that pony fast

like a cowboy from the past. be young and wild and free

like texas in 1880. just like texas in 1880. ah

from phoenix to tulsa to the astro dome;

new york city down to san antone;

there's boys that are ridin' for legendary fame

and our money's all gone but we still ride the same. our hearts'll get broken

and our heads'll get busted. but we'll always believe the things that we trusted. there'll be those nights when glory comes round

and we'll tip our hats and wave to the crowd

and then ride that pony fast

like a cowboy from the past. be young and wild and free

like texas in 1880. just like texas in 1880. someday when you're older

someone'll see

that buckle hangin' there on your belt. ask you just how it felt!

to ride that pony fast

like a cowboy from the past. be young and wild and free

like texas in 1880. just like texas in 1880. just like texas. take me home to texas

ah play it just like texas

play it just like texas
