From the recording God Loves Cowboys
**GOD LOVES COWBOYS**
*An Original Texas Country Gospel Song*
Dusty boots, wide-open Texas skies, a worn-out cowboy hat, and a heart that discovers the endless mercy of God!
*God Loves Cowboys* is a warmhearted country Gospel song about a rugged Texas cowboy who has made his share of mistakes but discovers that God's grace can find him anywhere—even out on the open range.
With authentic cowboy twang, acoustic guitars, and harmonica, this uplifting story follows a wandering cowboy whose life changes when he hears an old hymn drifting through the doorway of a little white chapel.
He still rides horses, works cattle, and drinks his coffee strong and black—but now there's a Bible in his saddlebag and a new song in his heart.
**“You don't need a fancy suit, boys, or a spotless Sunday shirt. Just bring your heart to Jesus—He ain't afraid of a little dirt!”**
A joyful reminder that wherever life's trail has taken you, the Good Shepherd is calling you home.

[INTRO]
| G | C | G D | G |
[VERSE 1]
G C
He was raised where the mesquite meets the morning,
G D
Where the red dirt settles on your soul.
G C
Learned to ride before he learned his Bible,
G D G
Learned that life can buck and take its toll.
Em C
Had a worn-out hat and a stubborn streak,
G D
And a thousand things he'd never tell,
G C
But his mama said, "Son, there's a Savior
G D G
Who can find you where the shadows fell."
[CHORUS]
G C
God loves cowboys, dusty boots and all,
G
He hears 'em when they're riding,
D
And He catches 'em when they fall.
G C
From the Rio Grande to the Panhandle sky,
G D
There's a Shepherd watching with a loving eye.
Em C
You can run a thousand miles,
G D
But His mercy never ends—
G D G
God loves cowboys, and He calls 'em friends.
[TURNAROUND]

[VERSE 2]
G C
He spent some nights beneath a Texas thunder,
G D
With his saddle for a pillow and a prayer.
G C
Had a few old scars from foolish choices,
G D G
And some broken promises he'd carried everywhere.
Em C
One Sunday morning by a little white chapel,
G D
He heard a hymn through an open door.
G C
He took his hat off, bowed his head,
G D G
And didn't run from grace no more.
[CHORUS]
G C
God loves cowboys, dusty boots and all,
G
He hears 'em when they're riding,
D
And He catches 'em when they fall.
G C
From the Rio Grande to the Panhandle sky,
G D
There's a Shepherd watching with a loving eye.
Em C
You can run a thousand miles,
G D
But His mercy never ends—
G D G
God loves cowboys, and He calls 'em friends.
[VERSE 3]
G C
Now he still rides out before the sunrise,
G D
Still drinks his coffee strong and black.
G C
Still gets a little sideways with the cattle,
G D G
Still has an old guitar strapped to his back.
Em C
But there's a Bible in his saddlebag,
G D
And a different song upon his tongue.
G C
He says, "The Lord didn't take away my cowboy,
G D G
He just showed me who I belonged to all along."
[BRIDGE — SPOKEN-SUNG]
C
Well, the Lord made horses,
G
He made the open range,
C
He made the stars above the prairie,
D
And He knows a heart can change.
C
You don't need a fancy suit, boys,
G Em
Or a spotless Sunday shirt.
Am
Just bring your heart to Jesus—
D
He ain't afraid of a little dirt!
[FINAL CHORUS]
G C
God loves cowboys, dusty boots and all,
G
He hears 'em when they're riding,
D
And He catches 'em when they fall.
G C
From the Rio Grande to the Panhandle sky,
G D
There's a Shepherd watching with a loving eye.
Em C
You can run a thousand miles,
G D
But His mercy never ends—
G D G
God loves cowboys, and He calls 'em friends!
[OUTRO]
C G
When that last sunset paints the prairie,
C D
And my riding days are through,
G C
I'll hang my hat beside the doorway,
G D G
Where the Lord makes all things new.
[SPOKEN]
G D G
"Yep… God loves cowboys, too."
