Campfires, coffee from a tin cup in my hand Sure warms the fingers when it's cold Pickin' this ol' guitar, a friend I understand It sure smooth the wrinkles in my soul Sleepin' in the moonlight with a blanket for a bed Leaves such a peaceful feelin' in my mind Wakin' in the morning with an eagle over head Makes me long to fly away before my time And I think God must be a cowboy at heart He made wide open spaces from the start He made gra** and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again The night life in big cities is alright for a while Can sure make you feel good when you're there But the country's so pretty, it goes on and on for miles Takes away my troubles and my cares
