Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I heard you died out in Cheyenne

With my mother's ring on your hand

A note in your pocket that said I love you till I die

[Verse 2]

I can hear the bulls are coming

To claim what they've been hunting

The son of a cowboy came to claim his daddy's ride

[Verse 3]

And my baby, she's been crying at the thought of me dying

She knows there's no stopping a man and his foolish pride

[Chorus]

So open the gates, I'm here to prove

I'm better than my father was

And where he came from too

Open the gates, I'm here to ride

To hell I go, with daddy by my side

[Verse 4]

And I ain't never feared nothing

That was four legged and bucking

Throw me on a hurricane and I'll ride it to the coast

[Verse 5]

You'll never know that your son

Came to do what you should've done

On a summer day, a long time ago

Top a bull named 'To hell I go'

[Chorus]

So open the gates, I'm here to prove

I'm better than my father was

And where he came from, too

Open the gates, I'm here to ride

To hell I go, with daddy by my side

[Verse 6]

Well I died out in Cheyenne

With my baby there crying

In a belly that's been growing by the day

[Verse 7]

And I know that my son will do what his father should've done

A long, long time ago on a bull named 'To hell I go'

[Chorus]

So open the gates, he's here to prove

He's better than his father was

And where he came from too

Open the gates, he's here to ride

To hell I go's calf

The daddy by his side
