Sunrise on the dusty plain Boots on the ground, ridin' again Old guitar on my saddle bag Singin' to the wind, let the memories drag Cattle lowin', river runs wide That longhorn's shadow by my side Through the storms and the summer heat Ain't nothin' breaks a cowboy's beat Longhorn, run wild and free Under the stars, where you're meant to be You carry my dreams through the open land With the dust of Texas in your hand Longhorn, don't fade away Guide me home at the end of the day Campfire smoke and a fiddle tune Old Joe's laughin' 'neath the silver Moon Stories told 'bout the rodeo Hearts that broke, and seeds we sow Trail winds hard, but the whiskey's strong Life's just a verse in a cowboy's song From Amarillo to Abilene That longhorn spirit rides with me Longhorn, run wild and free Under the stars, where you're meant to be You carry my dreams through the open land With the dust of Texas in your hand Longhorn, don't fade away Guide me home at the end of the day Banjo's pickin', heart's still racin' Freedom's call I keep on chasin' Through the wind, I hear your call Longhorn spirit never falls Longhorn, run wild and free Through every dawn and memory When I'm gone, let the stories stay Of a cowboy's soul that rode away Longhorn, run wild and free
