Hangs his hat upon a tree
Bows his head bends his knee
Only asks for what he needs
And Jesus listens
A little bread for today
A little water little shade
To forgive just as he has
been forgiven
When a cowboy prays
It starts rainin' in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come
home to mama
And those stubborn
horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just
ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
Folds his calloused
hands together
'Round a Bible
bound in leather
Just as worn and
just as weathered
As the lines upon his face
All the horses in the stable
All his family 'round the table
All of Heaven listens in to
every word he has to say
When a cowboy prays
It starts rainin' in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come
home to mama
And those stubborn
horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just
ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays
It's for the grit and grace
to get back up again
When a cowboy prays
It starts with thanks and ends
in Jesus name Amen
When a cowboy prays
All of Heaven listens
When a cowboy prays
You don't wanna miss it
When a cowboy prays
It starts rainin' in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come
home to mama
And those stubborn
horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just
ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays
