When A Cowboy Prays

Hangs his hat upon a tree
Bows his head, bends his knee
Only asks for what he needs, and Jesus listens
A little bread for today
A little water, a little shade
To forgive just as he has been forgiven

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays

Folds his calloused hands together
'Round a Bible bound in leather
Just as worn and just as weathered
As the lines upon his face
All the horses in the stable
All his family 'round the table
All of Heaven listens in to every word he has to say

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays

When a cowboy prays
It's for the grit and grace
To get back up again
When a cowboy prays
It starts with thanks and ends
In Jesus' Name, Amen

When a cowboy prays
All of Heaven listens
When a cowboy prays
You don't wanna miss it

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays

When a cowboy prays
