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, you're 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 tenden, the fences needs menden He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life Cause they love and take care of all it's creations From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys He knew they need room and freedom So he gave em' Texas and those big Montana skies He was there when he heard those prayers coming from shying 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 herd needs tenden and the fences needs menden He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life Cause they love and take care of all it's creations From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles Ooooooh That's why God loved cowboys Ooh those cold nights get lonely He needs more then just a good fire keeping him warm Ooh there's nothing more holy Than a love of a woman weather life storm That's why God loves cowgirls, I believe there's a place in his heart Cause when the herd needs tenden and the fences needs menden He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life Cause they love and take care of all it's creations From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk heros Ooooooh That's why God loves cowgirls Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys
