Texas In 1880

	  		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? 

         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
 
 
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) 
 
D 
Someday when you?re older someone?ll see 
     Em 
That buckle hangin? there on your belt 
C 
Askin? just how it felt?
