Radney Foster with Pat Green Texas in 1880 Lyrics

Intro: G C Em C

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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...
