Texas In 1880 Lyrics

Texas In 1880

Written by 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 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 Antone;
There’s boys that are ridin’ for
legendary fame,
And our money’s all gone but we still ride the
same.

Our hearts'll get broken, and our heads'll get busted. 
But
we’ll always believe 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 then 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
Ah play it just like
Texas
Play it Just like Texas
