Campfire coffee from a tin cup in my hand
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold
a-playin' an old guitar
A friend I under- stand
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul
A- sleepin' in the moonlight
A blanket for my bed
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind
Wakin' up in the mornin'
with an eagle over- head
Makes me want to fly a- way be- fore my time
And I think God must be a cow- boy at heart
He made wide open spaces from the start
He made grass and trees and moun-(G7 tains
And a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cow- boys home a- gain
Night life and big cities
Is al- right for awhile
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 trails to lead old cow- boys home a- gain.
