[Intro]
On the eighth day, God noticed, a problem
For there below Him, stood a cowboy alone
Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud
God knew he'd, never make it, on his own
[Verse 1]
So God looked out, all over, creation
And listened, as that cowboy prayed
God took pa**ion and thunder, patience and wonder
Then He sent down, the best thing, that God ever made
[Chorus]
Cowboys and angels, leather and lace
Salt of the earth, meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels, tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride
[Verse 2]
Nothing's changed since, the dawn of, creation
For you will find them, together today
And only heaven above 'em, knows why she loves him
But he must be the reason, she don't fly away
[Chorus]
Cowboys and angels, leather and lace
Salt of the earth, meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels, tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride
[Outro]
It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride
