This Cowboy Song
We rode all night across an endless desert
We had no moon to light our way
And though a million stars were slowly turning
We lacked the consciences to pray
Our horses running like a devil chase us
Their feet, they hardly touched the ground
Yes, I’m familiar with a grey wolf howling
But I’m certain I never heard that sound
Devil to pay on judgement day
Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
This cowboy song is all I know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun, your shining light
You’ll be my dog-star shining tonight
I’ve been the lowest of the low on the planet
I’ve been a sinner all my days
When I was living with my hand on the trigger
I had no sense to change my ways
The preacher asked if I’d embrace the resurrection
