Brent told mom it?s how you ride not how you look
So don?t shine my boots
She told Brent it?s how you look when you win
So let me shine them again
And as he headed for the rodeo she just smiled and said
Just hold on tight son and don?t let go
Are the only two things you need to know?
(chorus)
Just hang on cowboy hang on for me
I?m your biggest fan it ain?t that hard to see
Hang on cowboy to all your dreams
Give ?em hell but just come back home to me
Brent went on to ride at the show
He wouldn?t stop till he was at the top
Dad stayed calm by the telephone
Didn?t sleep at all till he got the call
Brent said I?m eight seconds away from fame
Dad do you think I can?
And he just sighed and then replied
I?ve never had more faith in a man
(repeat chorus)
And he gave his life for what he loved
But his memory won?t ever die
And we all know the Lord and he look from above
And we can see him hangin? on
To that big blue Texas sky
(solo)
