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?

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 
           G 
And we can see him hangin? on 
                       A   D 
To that big blue Texas sky 
 
(solo) 
 
(repeat chorus)
