Texas In 1880
View chords used in this chart
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
[Refrão] 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
