Ah from Phoenix from Tulsa to the Astrodome,
G
New York City down to San Antone
D
These boys their riding for legendary fame
C
And our money's all gone but we ride just the same.
Em
Our hearts will get broken our heads'll get busted
G
But we'll always believe the things that we trusted
D
There'll be those nights when Glory comes round
C
And we'll tip our hats and wave to the crowd (and then...)

Someday when you're older someone'll see that buckle hanging
C
there on your belt, they'll ask you just how it felt (to ride....)
