Allen Reynolds - Cowboys and Angels lyrics

[Intro] On the eighth day, God noticed, a problem For there below Him, stood a cowboy alone Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud God knew he'd, never make it, on his own [Verse 1] So God looked out, all over, creation And listened, as that cowboy prayed God took pa**ion and thunder, patience and wonder Then He sent down, the best thing, that God ever made [Chorus] Cowboys and angels, leather and lace Salt of the earth, meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels, tested and tried It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride [Verse 2] Nothing's changed since, the dawn of, creation For you will find them, together today And only heaven above 'em, knows why she loves him But he must be the reason, she don't fly away [Chorus] Cowboys and angels, leather and lace Salt of the earth, meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels, tested and tried It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride [Outro] It's a long way to heaven, and one hell of a ride
