가사
(Verse 1)
In the shadows of the O’Daniel farm,
A young man's heart beat wild and warm,
Born in chains, but dreams of flight,
'80 John, the cowboy knight.
(Pre-Chorus)
One March morning, dawn's first light,
Left the farm, a heart so bright,
With Blondie by his side, they rode,
Towards freedom on a dusty road.
(Chorus)
On the Chisholm Trail, he made his name,
Through storms and dust, through fire and flame,
Facing dangers, he stood tall,
'80 John, the bravest of them all.
(Verse 2)
Blizzards, droughts, and outlaws too,
Poisonous snakes in skies of blue,
From Midland to Abilene he'd roam,
The open range, his newfound home.
(Pre-Chorus)
Once he chased the Comanche band,
Stolen Blondie in their hands,
Tracked for days through wild terrain,
'80 John would not be tamed.
(Chorus)
On the Goodnight-Loving, he carved his tale,
Through storms and dust, through fire and hail,
Facing dangers, he stood tall,
'80 John, the bravest of them all.
(Bridge)
Under stars and skies so wide,
Freedom found in every stride,
With steel guitar and a cowboy’s song,
'80 John, where you belong.
(Verse 3)
Broncs he broke and cattle drove,
A life so fierce, a heart so bold,
Riding trails with the best of men,
From dawn till dusk, and back again.
(Pre-Chorus)
One game of Monte, late at night,
Stories shared by campfire light,
In the eyes of friends, he saw his place,
A cowboy free, with wind’s embrace.
(Chorus)
On the Chisholm Trail, he made his name,
Through storms and dust, through fire and flame,
Facing dangers, he stood tall,
'80 John, the bravest of them all.
(Outro)
Now the legend of '80 John remains,
A tale of courage on the plains,
In every cowboy’s heart and song,
The spirit of Daniel Wallace lives on.
