God Must Be Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Campfires, coffee from a tin cup in my hand 

Sure warms the fingers when it's cold 

Pickin' this ol' guitar, a friend I understand 

It sure smooth the wrinkles in my soul 

Sleepin' in the moonlight with a blanket for a bed 

Leaves such a peaceful feelin' in my mind 

Wakin' in the morning with an eagle over head 

Makes me long 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 ol' cowboys home again 

The night life in big cities is alright for a while 

Can sure make 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
