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 shutdown
|
I¡¯m long overdue for headin¡¯ outta town
|
Gotta fever that they call the rodeo
|
Just enough winners and make the next show
|
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
|
Go on pin another number to the back of my shirt¡¦
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
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
|
|
Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
|
From New York City down to San Antone
|
There¡¯s boys that are ridin¡¯ for legendary fameAnd our money¡¯s all gone but they still ride the same
|
Our hearts are getting¡¯ broken
|
|
And our heads are getting¡¯ busted
|
We¡¯ll always believe in the things that we trusted
|
They¡¯ll be those nights when glory comes round
|
And we¡¯ll tip our hats and wave to the crowd¡¦
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
(outro)
|
Someday when you¡¯re older someone¡¯ll see
|
That buckle hangin¡¯ there on your belt
|
Askin¡¯ just how it felt¡¦
|
|
(repeat chorus)
