That's Why God Loves Cowboys

He wanted someone who loves the land as much as He does

Someone who knows the blessin's of a good hard rain

Somebody simple and strong that He knows He can count on

Soft as the wind, you're bold enough to bless His name

That's why God loves cowboys

I believe there's a place in His heart

'Cause when the herd needs tendin'

The fences need mendin'

He knows they'll work hard

On His great big ranch called life

'Cause they love and take care of all His creations

From the horses they ride

To those broken hearted honk tonk angels

Ooh, that's why God loves cowboys

He knew they needed room to breathe and freedom

So He gave 'em Texas and those big Montana skies

He was there when He heard those prayers comin' from Cheyenne

Right beside that young man on his last ride

That's why God loves cowboys

I believe there's a place in His heart

'Cause when the herd needs tendin'

The fences need mendin'

He knows they'll work hard

On His great big ranch called life

'Cause they love and take care of all His creations

From the horses they ride

To those broken hearted honk tonk angels

Ooh, that's why God loves cowboys

Ooh, those cold nights get lonely

He needs more than just a good fire to keep him warm

Ooh, there's nothin' more holy

Than the love of a woman to weather life's storm

That's why God loves cowgirls

I believe there's a place in His heart

'Cause when the herd needs tendin'

The fences need mendin'

He knows they'll work hard

On His great big ranch called life

'Cause they love and take care of all His creations

From the horses they ride

To those broken hearted honk tonk heroes

Ooh, that's why God loves cowgirls

Ooh, that's why God loves cowboys
