Lyrics
LORD LOVES COWBOYS
W:Larry M Clark BMI P:Ellemsee Music BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
Verse
When the Sun comes up, we all roll out, As fast as we are able
A quick face wash in the waterin' trough,
And then to the Bunkhouse table
A last cup of coffee, then to the corral, saddle our pony and ride
We'll work all day, earning our pay, livin' the cowboy life
Chorus
We all love being cowboys,
and thank the Lord for our creation
He made us tough, he made us strong,
cause there was need in the nation
We believe in our ourselves, and our ponies too,
and in the Lord we trust
But the Lord must surely love cowboys,
cause he made so many of us
SOLO
Verse
Hazin' and ropin', brandin' and hopin'
to make it through another day
We've strung barb wire, fought prairie fire,
cause that's the cowboy way
We respect out elders, protect little kids,
and fight, if we're ambushed
We know our rights as free Americans and we won't be pushed
Repeat chorus
SOLO
Repeat chorus
