We rode all night across an endless desert
We had no moon to light our way
And though a million stars were slowly turning
We lacked the consciences to pray
Our horses running like a devil chase us
Their feet, they hardly touched the ground
Yes, i'm familiar with a grey wolf howling
But i'm certain i never heard that sound
Devil to pay on judgement day
Would jesus strike me down if i should pray?
This cowboy song is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun, your shining light
You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
I've been a sinner all my days
When i was living with my hand on the trigger
I had no sense to change my ways
The preacher asked if i'd embrace the resurrection
To s** the poison from my life
Just like an existential cowboy villain
His words were balanced on my knife
Devil to pay, on judgement day
Would jesus strike me down if i should pray?
This cowboy song is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun, your shining light
You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
Every night
Every night
All my distances afar
This cowboy song, is all i know
To bring me back into your arms
This cowboy song, this cowboy life
I'll be your dog-star shining tonight
Dog-star...
