Texas in 1880 Songtext
von Radney Foster

I can hear the wind whisper my name
Tellin me its time to head out again
The horses are trailered and the lights are shut down
Im long over due for headin out of town. Got a fever that they call the rodeo
With just enough winnins to make the next show
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
Go on and pin another number to the back of my shirt and ride that pony fast.
Like a cowboy from the past. Be young and wild and free.
Just like Texas in 1880
Just like Texas in 1880
Im from Phenoix to Tulsa to the Astrodome
New York City down to San Antone
Theres boy who are ridin for legendary fame and their money′s all gone but we still love the same.
Our hearts are gettin broken and our heads are gettin busted. But 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 will see that buckle hangin there on your belt and ask just how it felt to ride that pony fast like a cowboy from the past. Be young and wild and free. Just like Texas in 1880, just like Texas in 1880...
Just like Texas
Take me home to Texas
Aww play it Just like Texas
No no no no no no
Play it Just like Texas
