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
I’m long overdue for headin’ outta town
Got a fever that they call the 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 pony fast
Like a cowboy from the past
Be young and wild and 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 Anton’
There’s boys that are ridin’ for legendary fame
And our money’s all gone but we still ride the same
Our hearts are gettin’ broken and our heads are gettin’ 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
And 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
Someday when you’re older
Someone’ll see that buckle hangin’ there on your belt
Ask you just how it felt
To 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
Just like Texas
Take me home to Texas
I’ll play it just like Texas
No, no, no, no, no, no
Play it just like Texas
Hey, yeah
