"God Must Be A Cowboy At Heart"

 

A campfire, some coffee

From a tin cup in my hand

Sure warms the fingers when it's cold...

aplayin' an old guitar

A friend I understand

Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul...

 

Asleepin' in the moonlight

A blanket for my bed

Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind...

Wakin' up in the mornin'

With an eagle overhead

Makes me want to fly away before my time

 

And I think God must be a cowboy at heart

He made wide open spaces from the start...

He made grass and trees and mountains

And a horse to be a friend

And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain...

 

Night life and big cities

Is alright for awhile

Sure makes you feel good when you're there...

But the country's so pretty

It goes on and on for miles takes away my troubles and my cares...

 

And I think God must be a cowboy at heart

He made wide open spaces from the start...

He made grass and trees and mountains

And a horse to be a friend

And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain...

 

And trails to lead old cowboys home again.
