  			G           C      D             G  
He's packed up his boots and his saddle 
G     C    D                  D  
Seventeen, headin' out on his own 
G             C      D7          Em 
And he'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas 
C        G  D           G    
Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas 
D           G       C  D 
One ride in Vegas 
 
G      C         D             G 
Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms 
G         C          D           D 
Aches and pains from yesterday's ride 
G           C            D7               Em 
It's takin' more than he thought he could give it 
C                G      D           G 
But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas 
D           G    G 
One ride in Vegas 
 
         C          D    G           C   
And he's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger 
     C          D            G        G      
That never will let him give up 
         C           D        G           C 
And with fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder 
     C           G           D 
Till one day his day finally comes 
 
G               C          D        G 
His heart beats fast with anticipation 
G        C                D                     D    
Brighter lights than he's ever seen before 
            G         C            D7         Em               
He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds 
C                   G        D           G 
And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas 
D           G           C D D G C D D 
One ride in Vegas 
 
G               C    D                 G  
He's an old man now, four times' world champion 
G            C             D                D 
A modern day legend, every cowboy knows his name 
G            C           D7            Em 
He's settled down on his ranch down in Texas 
C                       G       D           G 
But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas 
    D            G 
One more ride in Vegas
