I heard you died out in Cheyenne

With my mother's ring on your hand

A note in your pocket said "I'll love you till I die"
Em C
I can hear the bulls are coming to claim that they've been hunting

The son of the cowboy came to claim his daddy's right

And my baby she's been crying at the thought of me dying
G D
She knows theres no stopping a man and his foolish pride
C
So open the gates

I'm here to prove

I'm better than my father was

And where he came from, too

To hell I'll go

With daddy by my side

On a summer day a long time ago

So open the gates
