Texas In 1880 Chords & Lyrics - Radney Foster

[G] [C] [Em] [C]

[Em]I can hear the wind whisper my name
[G]Tellin’ me it’s time to head out again
My [D]horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
I’[C]m long overdue for headin’ outta town
Gotta [Em]fever that they call the rodeo
[G]Just enough winners and make the next show
Some[D]times you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
Go on [C]pin another number to the back of my shirt…

(CHOURS)
And I’l[G]l ride tha[D]t pon[C]y fast
Like a [G]cowboy [D]from the [C]past
Be [G]young and [D]wild and [C]free
Like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80
Just like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80

[Em]Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
From [G]New York City down to San Antone
There’[D]s boys that are ridin’ for legendary fame
And our [C]money’s all gone but they still ride the same
Our [Em]hearts are getting’ broken

And our heads are getting’ busted
[G]We’ll always believe in the things that we trusted
They’l[D]l be those nights when glory comes round
And we’l[C]l tip our hats and wave to the crowd…

(CHOURS)
And I’l[G]l ride tha[D]t pon[C]y fast
Like a [G]cowboy [D]from the [C]past
Be [G]young and [D]wild and [C]free
Like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80
Just like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80

[BRIDGE]
[D]Someday when you’re older someone’ll see
That [Em]buckle hangin’ there on your belt
[C]Askin’ just how it felt…

(CHOURS)
And I’l[G]l ride tha[D]t pon[C]y fast
Like a [G]cowboy [D]from the [C]past
Be [G]young and [D]wild and [C]free
Like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80
Just like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80

[G] [C] [Em] [C]
