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
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 tendin'
Fences needs mendin'
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
Ooooooh
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 coming 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 herd needs tendin'
Fences needs mendin'
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
Ooooooh
That's why God loves cowboys
Ooh, those cold nights get lonely
He needs more than just a good fire to keep him warm
Ooh, 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 tendin'
Fences needs mendin'

To those broken hearted honky-tonk heroes
