Sourced from Genius — imagery may differ from official artwork.
We rode all night across an endless desert We had no moon to light our way And though a million stars were slowly turning We lacked the consciences to pray Our horses running like a devil chase us Those feets, they hardly touched the ground Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolfs howling But I'm certain, I never heard that sound Devil to pay on judgement day Would Jesus strike me down If I should pray? This cowboy song is all I know To bring me back into your arms Your distant sun, your shining light You'll be my dog-star, shining tonight I've been the lowest of the low on the planet I've been a sinner all my days When I was living with my hand on the trigger I had no sense to change my ways The preacher asked if I'd embrace the resurrection To suck the poison from my life Just like an existential cowboy villain His words were balanced on my knife Devil to pay, on judgement day Would Jesus strike me down If I should pray? This cowboy song is all I know To bring me back into your arms Your distant sun, your shining light You'll be my dog-star, shining tonight Every night, every night All my distances afar This cowboy song, is all I know To bring me back into your arms This cowboy song, this cowboy life I'll be your dog-star, shining tonight Dog-star Dog-star Dog-star Dog-star Dog-star Dog-star Dog-star
