|
A campfire, some coffee |
|
From a tin cup in my hand |
|
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold ... |
|
aplayin' an old guitar |
|
A friend I understand |
|
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul ... |
|
Asleepin' in the moonlight |
|
A blanket for my bed |
|
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind ... |
|
Wakin' up in the mornin' |
|
With an eagle overhead |
|
Makes me want to fly away before my time |
|
CHORUS |
|
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 old cowboys home a-gain ... |
|
Night life and big cities |
|
Is alright for awhile |
|
Sure makes 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 ... |
|
CHORUS |
|
And trails to lead old cowboys home again. |
