When Cowboy’s Pray

Verse 1
As the sun comes up on Catarina plain
He’ll work all day through the heat and the pain
He spent his whole life on this ride
The land down here it’s been oh so dry
The only waters are the tears he cries
He kneels to pray under open skies
He’s never thought about given up on the things he knows
He lifts his hands, and he talks to God as a cold wind blows

Chorus
He may never see his name in lights
Or ride a rodeo on a Friday night
But he’s made eight a time or two
He can rope and ride with the best of them
But he chose God and a faith in Him
That’s enough to see him through,
And the world comes to a stay, as God listens to
This cowboy pray

Verse 2
As the sun goes down in that border town
He unsaddles his horse another day down
He wipes the sweat off from his brow
A dusty ole Bible he’s so thankful for
He’s got family and friends that he adores
A life he loves and so much more
He sees the stars one extra bright, in that clear south Texas sky
It brings to mind God’s guiding light that has always got him by

Bridge
There’s more like him in this world they say
And heaven’s not so far away
As God holds on to every prayer they’ve prayed

Chorus 2
They may never see their name in lights
Or ride a Brahman bull on a Friday night
But they’ve made eight a time or two
They can rope and ride with the best of them
But they chose God and a faith in Him
And that’s enough to see them through,
And the world comes to a stay, as God listens in
