E5 
Well I can hear the wind whisper my name 
G5 
Telling me it's time to head out again 
   D5 
My horses are trailered and the lights are shut down 
        C5 
And I'm long overdue from heading outta town 
      E5 
Got a fever that they call rodeo 
G5 
Just enough winnings to make the next show 
    D5 
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt 
          C5                         D5 
Go on and pin another number to the back of my shirt 


         G5         D5    C5 
And I'll ride that pony fast 
       G5      D5        C5  
like a cowboy from the past 
   G5         D5       C5 
Beyond their wildest dreams 
     G5        D5 C5 
Like Texas in 1880 
          G5        D5 G5     
Just like Texas in 1880  
 
Ah, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astrodome 

New York City down to San Antone 

These boys are riding for legendary fame 

And our money's all gone but we ride just the same 

Our hearts will get broken and our heads'll get busted 

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 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
    D5                               
Someday when you're older someone'll see 
     E5  
That buckle hanging there on your belt 
C5 
Ask you just how it felt... to ride 
 
Chorus
