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, a little shade
To forgive just as he has been forgiven
When a cowboy prays
It starts raining 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
And it's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same
When a cowboy prays
Folds his callus hands together
Around a bible bound in leather
Just as worn and just as weather
As the lines upon his face
All the horses in the stable
All his family around the table
All of Heaven listens in to every word he has to say
When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long-lost sons come home to mama
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
Oh, 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 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 misheard
When a cowboy prays
It starts raining 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
