Johnny Cash - Cowboy's Prayer

(verse 1)

A

Lord, I've never lived where churches grow,

E

I loved creation better as it stood,

That day you finished it so long ago,

A

And looked upon your work and called it good,

(verse 2)

A

I know that others find you in the light,

E

That sifted down through tinted window panes,

And yet I seem to feel you near tonight

A

In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains,

(verse 3)

A

I thank you, Lord, that I'm placed so well,

E

That you've made my freedom so complete,

That I'm no slave to whistle, clock or bell,

A

Nor weak eyed prisoner of Wall Street,

(verse 4)

A

Just let me live my life as I've begun,

E

And give me work that's open to the sky,

Make me a partner of the wind and sun,

A

And I won't ask a life that's soft or high,

(verse 5)

A

Let me be easy on the man that's down,

E

Let me be square and generous with all,

I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when I'm in town,

A

But never let ‘em say I'm mean or small,
