|
This Cowboy Song |
|
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 |
|
Those 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 |
|
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... |
|
Dog star... |
