A Little Cowboy Church

The life of a cowboy was a lonely one As he herded his cattle from morning till night Tired and weary both physical and mentally The dust and grim was a typical sight He had time to pray, of course that's true But once in awhile as he rode along He'd hear a plaintiff sound in the distance It was a powerful sweet and religious song As the cowboy entered this country church He was grimy and in need of a shave But he needed to feel closer to God, you see I think he was truly a man who was brave I'm sure the folks understood his plight And accepted the way he looked As he bowed his head and his lips moved And he sang hymns from the song book Do you think anyone could feel closer to God Than a cowboy lonely, dirty and sad? I imagine his heart felt mighty heavy right then As he needed to be in God's house so bad!
