Well I can hear the wind whisper my name
G
Telling me it's time to head out again
D
My horses ae trailered and the lights are shut down
C
And I'm long overdue from heading outa town.
Em
Got a fever that they call rodeo
G
Just enough winning to make the next show
D
Sometimes you make eight sometimes ya hit dirt
C
Go on, pin another number to the back of my shirt.

G D C G D C
And I'll ride that pony pass, like a cowboy from the past
G D C G D C
Beyond their wildest dreams, like Texas in 1880
G D C G C Em C
Just like Texas in 1880.
Em
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...)
Chorus: (same as before, except leave off last C before going into next
verse)
D Em
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....)
Chorus
Fade out with progression: G C Em C
'Just like Texas'
