A Cowboy Heart

You might make a livin' .... as a doctor;
Sacking groceries .... or, pushing shopping carts.
Here .... you're not judged .... by how much money you make
But .... do you have a cowboy heart?

You don't really .... have to ride a horse,
Or .... know all of a saddle's parts;
All you really need .... to fit in .... here,
Is to have .... a cowboy heart.

It don't really matter .... if you rope .... or ride,
Don't know .... how to make a horse .... stop or start;
You'll be welcomed here .... with open arms,
If .... you have a cowboy heart.

Do you shoot straight .... with folks you deal with?
Love .... God and country .... with all of your heart?
Then .... don't worry about it .... you''ve found a home;
You already have .... a cowboy heart.

You might be a real cowboy .... or a green-horn;
Have ridden for years .... or just wanting to start.
Or .... maybe you just enjoy .... the fellowship,
Just .... so you have a cowboy heart.

Now .... the good Lord knows .... I'm not a real cowboy;
Not even real good .... at playing the part
But .... they let me come back .... every Sunday,
'Cause .... they know .... I've got a cowboy heart.
