"That's Why God Loves Cowboys"

"That's Why God Loves Cowboys"


He wanted someone who loves the land as much as he does
Someone who knows the blessings 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 hurt needs tending and fences need mending
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
Oooh oooh that's why God loves cowboys

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 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 hurt needs tending and fences need mending
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
Oooh oooh that's why God loves cowboys

Oooh those cold nights get lonely
He needs more than just a good fire to keep him warm
Oooh there's nothing 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 tending and the fences needs mending
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all its creations
From the horses they ride to those broken hearted honky tonk heros
Ooooooh
That's why God loves cowgirls
Ooooooh
That's why God loves cowboys

"The Heart Of Life"

"The Heart Of Life"


Girl I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way that it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Now you know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
There in the circle of your friends
We'll defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way that it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who is misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good

"The Honky Tonk Kid"
(with Willie Nelson)

"The Honky Tonk Kid"
(with Willie Nelson)



He's wrinkled and gray but he's still got the fire
And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire
He'll pack 'em in just like he always did
Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

He got his first guitar when he was fifteen
Thirstin' for knowledge, all hungry and green
Strummin' that six string just like Lefty did
Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

[Chorus:]
Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd
He picks them up when this world gets them down
All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Nobody knows The Honky Tonk Kid

Ten million fans and a hand full of friends
He'll go home alone when each night ends
He'll think about her and he'll twist off the lid
Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

[Chorus x2]

It won't be long the lord will take him away
He'd sung his last song, they'll place a reef on his grave
But he'll draw a crowd just like he always did
One last goodbye for The Honky Tonk Kid

"The Notel Motel"

"The Notel Motel"


He starts to think when she winks that he's somewhere he shouldn't be
He may be alone but at home someone's wearing his ring
So he heads for the door and ignores the devil on his shoulder
He'll do the right thing but someone's gonna break down and hold her

And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

Once again another man walks in and orders him drinks for two
Despite his wife and picture perfect life he's to good to be true
While he's flirting she'd swear he's working on a job out of town
A married man, you know he's got no business messing around

And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

It's a five star chain or a run down dirt cheap no name
With or without room service what done is the same

And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

"The Prayer"

"The Prayer"


My mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand I cannot be the king of me

There's the man in white, his words are painted red
There's power in his blood and only truth in what is said
There's the man in black with a needle in his vein
Lying flat upon his back this is the prayer that he once prayed

He said, my mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand I cannot be the king of me

And this harem in my heart is filled with pot metal and fools gold
Once your statue turns to dirt all that's left in the end is your soul
God save your soul

So he said shout out of control with all your heart and soul
Though this cold world may tear you apart
Let the whole world know

My mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand I cannot be the king of me

My mountain is a mole hill, my throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust and it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on is gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand I cannot be the king of me

Lord, I am just a man
I cannot be the king of me

"The Right Place"

"The Right Place"


[Chorus:]
Lord don't you walk with a little
Sawin' on a fiddle and the crying of a steel guitar
Coming from the heart and soul
Born and bred in the ole Lone Star
Get them honky tonkin' blues
Let them be your saving grace
If you want to hear some country
Then you've come to the right place

You miss Waylon, if it don't make you smile
Like Willie and George Jones
You better stick around a while
You like Merle, Buck and Johnny
We might just get along
But if you don't, go slap your mommy
Cause your momma raised you wrong

[Chorus]

I like gravy on my biscuit, I like my chicken fried
I drink my coffee black, I sure like my Charlie Pride
Well I still solute ole Glory and I give glory to the lord
I tip my hat to ole E.T. and his Texas Troubadours

[Chorus]

"The Road"

"The Road"


I'm there to greet you when your life begins
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands
I offer many choices an' places you can go
'Cause you must choose 'cause I'm just the road

I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath your load
Don't blame me; I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road

Road to riches, the path of righteousness
Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess
I'll take you through the high way or snake you through the low
But it's your call, I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road

Your last breath is not the death of me
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul
If they don't, I'm just the road

'Cause I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road

So don't you thank me don't you blame me
When you're at that judgment throne
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road

"The Road & The Rodeo"

"The Road & The Rodeo"


Wild Horses & honky Tonkin' bars
Drives a man to chase gold buckles and guitars
I don't do it for the money I can't blame the fame
It's been a long hard ride, still I saddle up just the same
I'm rolling right along, sky above is blue
I got the window rolled down and I'm listening to Chris Ledoux
Half a can of caffeine running through my veins
Running rain or shine and I'm never pulling back the reins
No you may not see me on your TV, I'm seldom heard on your radio
But if your looking, you might just find me somewhere between
The road and the rodeo

"The Underdog"

"The Underdog"


Don't you ever let this world push you around
Use your head and keep your feet firmly on the ground
If you get knocked down get back up and try again

Don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes
Don't bottle up your passion like a jar of fireflies
If you ever lose sight of your light and you feel like givin' in

Don't you forget your faith in God above
Don't you forget your Mom and Daddy's love
When you fear when you fail when you feel your gonna fall
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog

Don't buy a thing unless you can pay in cash
Go ahead and throw those credit cards in the trash
Love is a virtue, honesty is the key, say your prayers, brush your teeth
And don't you watch too much TV

If you're down in the count, one strike away
Choke up and crowd the plate and put the ball in play
Keep your nose down when you win and keep your head up when you lose
And you're gonna lose

Don't you forget your faith in God above
Don't you forget your Mom and Daddy's love
When you fear when you fail when you feel your gonna fall
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog

And there will come a day when I will fly away
So make me smile while we're apart
You gotta sing from your soul and play with all of your heart

There's a good chance your heart will break in two
Trust that God has someone special planned for you
Did you know I was down on love and luck when he sent your mom to me

Someday you'll have babies of your own
So cherish every moment you're gonna blink and they'll be grown
The greatest honor that I've ever had is having you call me your dad

Boys don't forget your faith in God above
Don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
When you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
Follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
