A campfire, some coffeeFrom a tin cup in my handSure warms the fingers when it’s cold …aplayin’ an old guitarA friend I understandSure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul …Asleepin’ in the moonlightA blanket for my bedLeaves a peaceful feelin’ in my mind …Wakin’ up in the mornin’With an eagle overheadMakes me want to fly away before my timeCHORUSAnd I think God must be a cowboy at heartHe made wide open spaces from the start …He made grass and trees and mountainsAnd a horse to be a friendAnd trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain …Night life and big citiesIs alright for awhileSure makes you feel good when you’re there …But the country’s so prettyIt goes on and on for miles takes away my troubles and my cares …CHORUSAnd trails to lead old cowboys home again.
