Legend Born

It's a long way, ft 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 nite 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

All the late nite 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
