Texas In 1880 Lyrics - Singles - Radney Foster

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 town 

Gotta 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 shirt 

And 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 1880 

Awe, 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 same 

Our 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 crowd 

And 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 1880 

Someday when youre older someonell see 

That buckle hangin there on your belt 

Askin just how it felt 

And 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 1880 

Just like Texas 

Take me home to Texas 

I'll play, just like Texas 

No no no, no no no 

Play, just like Texas 

Yeah
