I can hear the wind whisper my name
Tellin me its time to head out again
My horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
Im long overdue for headin outta townGotta fever that they call the rodeo
Just enough winnings to make the next show
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
Go on pin another number to the back of my shirtAnd Ill ride that pony fast
Like a cowboy from the past
Be young and wild and free
Like Texas in 1880
Just like Texas in 1880Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
From New York City down to San Antone
Theres boys that are ridin for legendary fame
And our moneys all gone but they still ride the sameOur hearts are getting broken and our heads are getting busted
Well always believe in the things that we trusted
Theyll be those nights when glory comes 'round
And well tip our hats and wave to the crowdAnd Ill ride that pony fast
Like a cowboy from the past
Be young and wild and free
Like Texas in 1880
Just like Texas in 1880Someday when youre older someonell see
That buckle hangin there on your belt
Askin just how it feltAnd Ill ride that pony fast
Like a cowboy from the past
Be young and wild and free
Like Texas in 1880
Just like Texas in 1880Just like Texas
Take me home to Texas
I'll play, just like Texas
No no no, no no no
Play, just like Texas
Yeah
