Brian Burns - A Cowboy's Prayer lyrics

rate me

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
