Brian Burns A Cowboy's Prayer
Lord, I know I told you many years ago
that all I ever wanted was to ride in the rodeo.
If you'd give me the courage to make that long, hard ride,
I'd wanna be a cowboy till I died.
Well, I've bumped heads with every wild bull from Dallas to Cheyenne,
and every time I hit the dirt, well, I got back on again,
but now I'm down here prayin' I haven't let you down,
I think it's time we turned my life around.
CHORUS:
Lord, I've traveled many lonely miles,
take my saddle, let me rest awhile.
My heart is weary and my bones are sore,
and I don't wanna be a cowboy anymore.
There's a girl in Austin, the one I left behind
when ridin' for the money was the main thing on my mind;
I'm hopin' she'll forgive me for makin' that mistake,
'cause all I want now is the love she makes.
REPEAT CHORUS
Hang my trophies in the Hall of Fame,
tell all the ladies to remember my name,
I don't wanna be a cowboy anymore.
