Introduction:
D Bm F#m A
Brent told mom it?s how you ride not how you look
So don?t shine my boots
D Bm F#m A
She told Brent it?s how you look when you win
D
So let me shine them again
G D Bm A
And as he headed for the rodeo she just smiled and said
G Bm
Just hold on tight son and don?t let go
F#m A
Are the only two things you need to know?
(chorus)

Brent went on to ride at the show
A
He wouldn?t stop till he was at the top
D Bm F#m
Dad stayed calm by the telephone
A D
Didn?t sleep at all till he got the call
G D
Brent said I?m eight seconds away from fame
Bm A
Dad do you think I can?
G Bm
And he just sighed and then replied
F#m A
I?ve never had more faith in a man
(repeat chorus)
A
And he gave his life for what he loved
G A
But his memory won?t ever die
Bm G A
And we all know the Lord and he look from above

And we can see him hangin? on
A D
To that big blue Texas sky
