[Verse]
G G
She was holding her breath
C C
And he attempted a prayer
Em Em7 D D
And he was cussing the dust rising up in the air
G G C Em7 Em7
Cause the old cattle trail, well, it weren't anywhere
C C D D
For a baby to draw its first breath
G G
And the unbroken West
C C
Well, it was no place to live
Em Em
Cause it was hard to survive
D D
And it was Hell if you did
G G C Em Em
So he entered this world with a pair of clenched fists
C C D D
And the first and last tears he'd shed
[Chorus]
Em D G G
And the longhorns lowed him a welcome
Em D C C
As a new voice cried from the buckboard
C C Em Em
And the Irish, they sang sad and lonely
C D C C C C
Cause they knew a cowboy was born
[Verse]
G G
Well, the prairie closed in
C C
And a century passed
Em7 Em7 D D
The settlers plowed under, the tall prairie grass
G G C Em7 Em7
And the cow town's died off in a world changing fast
C C D D
But the wind kept the spirit alive
G G C C
Cause a young boy in Kansas, he caught a breeze one day
Em7 Em7 D D
And in a five-second rush, he was fighting for eight
G G C Em Em
He saw it all so clear through the dirt on his face
C C D D
He knew he was born to ride
[Chorus]
