"Legend Born" lyrics
It's a long way, Fort Worth to Cheyenne
Late July around a hundred and ten
Another truck stop, a quick call back home
40 dollars' worth of gas and then he's gone
Chasing down the highway, for another rodeo
When you're up against the best, it can be a long hard road
What makes a man a legend, ain't about fortune or fame
It's all the times you get bucked off, got up and tried again
And all the late night tailgate stories, could be fact or fiction told
When the story meets the man, the legend's born
Now there's a long line, of cowboys comin'
And they all want to take that buckle and run
But this is your chance and you shout outside
Keep your mind in the middle, bear down and ride
Like Garret Tibbs and shoulders and all who came before
When you climb down in that chute you gotta know what you're ridin' for
What makes a man a legend, ain't about fortune or fame
It's all the times you get bucked off, got up and tried again
And all the late night tailgate stories, could be fact or fiction told
When the story meets the man, the legend's born
Now for every fallen cowboy
And every hard lesson learned
There's a fire that burns down deep inside
Now cowboy it's your turn
What made this man a legend, long before the fame
Through the ups and downs, he stood his ground through the glory and the pain
And all the late night tailgate stories, pass a beer, I'll tell you more
The story met the man, now the legend's born
Story met the man, now the legend's born
Late July around a hundred and ten
Another truck stop, a quick call back home
40 dollars' worth of gas and then he's gone
Chasing down the highway, for another rodeo
When you're up against the best, it can be a long hard road
What makes a man a legend, ain't about fortune or fame
It's all the times you get bucked off, got up and tried again
And all the late night tailgate stories, could be fact or fiction told
When the story meets the man, the legend's born
Now there's a long line, of cowboys comin'
And they all want to take that buckle and run
But this is your chance and you shout outside
Keep your mind in the middle, bear down and ride
Like Garret Tibbs and shoulders and all who came before
When you climb down in that chute you gotta know what you're ridin' for
What makes a man a legend, ain't about fortune or fame
It's all the times you get bucked off, got up and tried again
And all the late night tailgate stories, could be fact or fiction told
When the story meets the man, the legend's born
Now for every fallen cowboy
And every hard lesson learned
There's a fire that burns down deep inside
Now cowboy it's your turn
What made this man a legend, long before the fame
Through the ups and downs, he stood his ground through the glory and the pain
And all the late night tailgate stories, pass a beer, I'll tell you more
The story met the man, now the legend's born
Story met the man, now the legend's born
