This Cowboy Song Lyrics

We rode all night across an endless desert

 We had no moon to light our way

 And though a million stars were slowly turning

 We lacked the consciences to pray

 

 Our horses running like a devil chase us

 Their feet, they hardly touched the ground

 Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling

 But I'm certain I never heard that sound

 Devil to pay on judgement day

 Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

 This cowboy song is all I know

 To bring me back into your arms

 Your distant sun, your shining light

 You'll be my dog-star shining tonight

 

 I've been the lowest of the low on the planet

 I've been a sinner all my days

 When I was living with my hand on the trigger

 I had no sense to change my ways

 The preacher asked if I'd embrace the resurrection

 To suck the poison from my life

 Just like an existential cowboy villain

 His words were balanced on my knife

 Devil to pay, on judgement day

 Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?

 

 This cowboy song is all I know

 To bring me back into your arms

 Your distant sun, your shining light

 You'll be my dog-star shining tonight

 

 Every night

 Every night

 All my distances afar

 

 This cowboy song, is all I know

 To bring me back into your arms

 This cowboy song, this cowboy life

 I'll be your dog-star shining tonight

 

 Dog-star...
