This Cowboy Song Lyrics - Sting

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 

To suck the poison from my life 

Just like an existential cowboy villain 

His words were balanced on my knife 

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 

Every night 

Every night 

All my distances afar

This cowboy song, is all I know 

To bring me back into your arms 

This cowboy song, this cowboy life 

I'll be your dog-star shining tonight 

Dog-star...
