Radney Foster - Texas in 1880 Lyrics

I can hear the wind whisper my name
Tellin' me it's time to head out again
The horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
I'm long overdue for headin' outta town
Gotta fever that they call the rodeo
Just enough winnin's to make the next show
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
Go on pin another number to the back of my shirt...

(chorus)

And I'll ride that pony fast
Like a cowboy from the past
Be young and wild and free
Like Texas in 1880
Just like Texas in 1880

Ride from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
From New York City down to San Antone
These boys are ridin' for legendary fame
And our money's all gone but we;ll ride just the same
Our hearts 'll get broken
and our heads 'll get busted
We'll always believe in 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...

(repeat chorus)
(outro)
Someday when you're older someone'll see
That buckle hangin' there on your belt
Askin' just how it felt...

(repeat chorus)
