A Cowboy's Prayer

Lord I know I told you Many years ago That all I ever wanted was to ride on a rodeo If you give me the courage To make that long hard ride I'd wanna be a cowboy till I die Well I've pumped heads with every wild bull From Dallas to Cheyenne And every time I hit the dirt Well I got back on again But now I'm down here hopein' I don't let you down I think it's time we turned my life around Lord I've travelled Many lonely miles Take my saddle Let me rest a while My heart is weary And my bones are sore And I don't want to be a cowboy anymore There's a girl in St. Antone The one I left behind When riding for the money Was the first thing on my mind I'm hopein' she'll forgive me For makeing that mistake 'Cause all I want now is the love she makes Lord I've travelled Many lonely miles Take my saddle Let me rest a while My heart is weary And my bones are sore And I don't want to be a cowboy anymore My heart is weary And my bones are sore Hang my trophies in the hall of fame Tell all the ladies to remember my name I don't wanna be a cowboy anymore
