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

V1 You move in a nonchalant way You're drop-dead sexy with that velvet skin When you go into the mud to play You come up dirty, and pull me in V2 Basking in the sun, you soak up the rays When things get too hot, you sneak Off, and go underground in secretive ways There's something about you that's so chic Pre-chorus But then I see your underbelly  Chorus You get jealous for no reason And rear back your head and bite Possessive, you defend and display Attack mode, and you're not teasin' Once you get me in your sights You just hiss and slither away You're a low down dirty snake V3 You flick your tongue and wiggle your head Make me think you have a lot to say But I know you rather keep quiet instead Of interacting, but I'm not your prey Pre-chrous You're a low down dirty snake Chorus You get jealous for no reason And rear back your head and bite Possessive, you defend and display Attack mode, and you're not teasin' Once you get me in your sights You just hiss and slither away You're a low down dirty snake Outro You're just a low down dirty snake I ain't chasing you 'cause you're too lethal You're just a low down dirty snake

Twenty bucks and a broken-down Ford Was all I had to change my life  I’m running from the slumlord  I ain’t living the high life Got more bills than I got cash Wondering how long it’s gonna last I’m ready in case I gotta dash You know bad news travels fast Chorus The fast lane calls my name I’ve been living there as long as I can say I guess I got skin in the game Maybe it’ll get better someday It’s the life I’ve been forced to play Don’t seem to know, no other way They say I got the right to change But to me, that just seems strange I’m gonna pack up my Ford  Take my twenty bucks and hit the road Maybe I’ll hit the Eastern Seaboard I don’t plan to hit the Mother Lode  (or go where there ain’t no color code)  ‘Cause I know....
