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, yet 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', the 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 Oooooh 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' and the 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 loved cowboys Ooh those cold nights get lonely He needs more then just a good fire keeping him warm Ooh there's nothin' more holy Than a love of a woman 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' and the 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 heros Ooooooh That's why God loves cowgirls Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys
