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 nameThat'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 it's creations
From the horses they ride
To those broken hardened honky tonk angels
Ooh that's why God loves cowboysHe 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 shying
Right beside that young man on his last rideThat'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 it's creations
From the horses they ride
To those broken hardened honky tonk angels
Ooh that's why God loves cowboysOoh those cold nights get lonely
He needs more than just a good fire keeping him warm
Ooh there's nothing more holy
Than a love of a woman weather life stormThat'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 it's creations
From the horses they ride
To those broken hardened honky tonk heroes
Ooh, that's why God loves cowgirls
Ooh, that's why God loves cowboys
