Texas In 1880

(Radney Foster)

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 shut down

An I'm long overdue for headin' outta town

Got a fever that they call rodeo

Just enough winnin' to make the next show

Sometimes you make eight,sometimes you hit dirt

Go on,pin another number to the back of my shirt

And I'll ride that pny fast

Like a cowboy from the past

Be young and wild free

Like Texas in 1880

Just like Texas in 1880

Ah,from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome

New York City down to San Antone

There's boys that are ridin' for legendary fame

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

Our hearts got broken,and our heads get busted

But we;ll alawys believe the things that we trust

There'll be those nights when glory comes round

And we'll tip our hats and wave to the crowd

And I'll ride that pny fast

Like a cowboy from the past

Be young and wild free

Like Texas in 1880

Just like Texas in 1880

Someday when you're older

Someone see

That buckle hangin' there on your belt

Ask you just how it felt!

And I'll ride that pny fast

Like a cowboy from the past

Be young and wild free

Like Texas in 1880

Just like Texas in 1880

Just like Texas

Just like Texas
