A campfire some coffee from a tin cup in my hand
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold
A-playin' an old guitar a friend I understand
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul
A-sleepin' in the moonlight a blanket for a bed
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind
Wakin' up in the mornin' with an eagle overhead
Makes me want to fly away before my time
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
He made wide-open spaces from the start
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
Night life and big cities is alright for a while
Sure makes you feel good when you're there
But the country's so pretty it goes on and on for miles
Takes away my troubles and my cares
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
He made wide-open spaces from the start
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
