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


         G         D    C 
And I'll ride that pony fast 
       G      D        C  
like a cowboy from the past 
   G         D       C 
Beyond their wildest dreams 
     G        D C 
Like Texas in 1880 
          G        D G     
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: 
    D                               
Someday when you're older someone'll see 
     Em  
That buckle hanging there on your belt 
C 
Ask you just how it felt... to ride 
 
Chorus
