He wanted someone who loves the land as much as He does
Someone who knows the blessin' of a good hard rain
Somebody simple and strong that He knows He can count on
Soft as the wind, yet 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 needs 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 honky tonk angels
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
That's why God loves cowboys
(Solo)
He knew they'd need room to breathe and freedom
So he gave em' Texas and those big Montana skies
He was there when He heard those prayers coming from Cheyenne
Right be-side 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 needs 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 honky tonk angels
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
That's why God loved cowboys
(Bridge)
Ooh those cold nights get lonely
He needs more then just a good fire to keep him warm
Ooh there's nothin' more holy
Than a 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' and the fences needs 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 honkytonk heroes
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
That's why God loves cowgirls
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
