The life of a cowboy was a lonely one
As he herded his cattle from morning till night
Tired and weary both physical and mentally
The dust and grim was a typical sight
He had time to pray, of course that's true
But once in awhile as he rode along
He'd hear a plaintiff sound in the distance
It was a powerful sweet and religious song
As the cowboy entered this country church
He was grimy and in need of a shave
But he needed to feel closer to God, you see
I think he was truly a man who was brave
I'm sure the folks understood his plight
And accepted the way he looked
As he bowed his head and his lips moved
And he sang hymns from the song book
Do you think anyone could feel closer to God
Than a cowboy lonely, dirty and sad?
I imagine his heart felt mighty heavy right then
As he needed to be in God's house so bad!
