A Cowboy's Prayer, Promise Land Songtext
von Casey Donahew Band

Rodeo′s all gone from this old cowboy
He'll be leavin′ friends and family here behind
In a long drought, he'll be crossing over Jordan
And Jesus called him home, it was his time

And if Heaven needs a cowboy
They're gettin′ the top hand
One good horse on a thousand hills
He′ll be ridin' for the brand
And if the Pearly Gates can′t hold the cattle
He'll get ′em roped and tied
I hope there's a piece of the Promised Land for cowboys when they die

Left his saddle to my sister, gave his spurs to my firstborn
And I know I should rejoice, but still my heart, it has been torn
And I know he will be smilin′ when he sees his dad again
And his mama with her lovin' arms will welcome him right in


And if Heaven needs a cowboy
They're gettin′ the top hand
One good horse on a thousand hills
He′ll be ridin' for the brand
And if the Pearly Gates can′t hold the cattle
He'll get ′em roped and tied
I hope there's a piece of the Promised Land for cowboys when they die

And if Heaven needs a cowboy
They′re gettin' the top hand
One good horse on a thousand hills
He'll be ridin′ for the brand
And if the Pearly Gates can′t hold the cattle
He'll get ′em roped and tied
I hope there's a piece of the Promised Land for cowboys when they die

I pray there′s a piece of the Promised Land for cowboys when they die
I know there's a piece in the Promised Land for cowboys when they die
