What Am I Doing Here Lyrics - Michael Martin Murphey

Starin' at the south end of north bound cattle 

Slavin' in the saddle all day 

You've got to be some kind of natural born fool 

To want to live your life this way 

Well it can't be the cooking, it sure ain't the money 

The devil made the horse that I ride 

The days are too long and the nights are too short 

And the boss ain't never satisfied 

So what am I doing here Lord? What am I doing here? 

There's got to be something better up there 

So what am I doing here? 

Sometimes I wonder in the lightning and the thunder 

If a cowboy's even got a prayer 

And why'd you have to make it so hard down here 

When things are so much better up there

Now the Lord called His angels all around the throne 

Said, "Boys I must be wastin' my time 

'Cause I thought I gave the cowboy a pretty good life 

Now he's complaining 'til the day he dies"
