COYBOYS PRAYER Gary McCray House Of Joysong Publshing Recitation: You know it's been said that God knew when he created the cowboy, they were gonna need a special kind of spirit. And that spirit has become known as the cowboy way. The cowboy, then and now, has his own special way of doing everything, even when he's praying to his maker. With his hat in hand, he kneels down on one knee, looks up toward the sky and says, Lord, I've come before you to make a talk. You know I ain't ever kneeled before man or beast, though I have been thrown in every direction known. I know you know who I am, but more important, Lord, you know what I am. So, at times like these, I just come before you to saymuch obliged for watchin' over me. I've learned to work my rope and saddle I'm friendly with one lucky Irish hound I live on beans and bacon, cowboys ain't fit for tyin' down I ain't cut out for city livin', I love to spread my bed roll Out among the stars along the trail And pray someday I'll go to heaven Heaven knows I've had my share of hell CHORUS: Till then I'll ride the open prairie, cross the Oklahoma red dirt Leave sorrows lyin' in a dusty trail I'll pray for tender mercies, heaven knows I don't feel worthy Sometimes I get lost on broken trails And pray someday I'll go to heaven Heaven knows I've had my share of hell Old lucky's getting' older The fight in him keeps runnin' off to hide I know he ain't worth a biscuit But he's company and he's always by my side I know my pistol grips are slippin' My eagle eye stays on your light But in the old red wind my vision sometimes fails So I pray someday I'll go to heaven Heaven knows I've had my share of hell CHORUS and TAG two lines: I'll pray someday I'll go to heaven Heaven knows I've had my share of hell
